CD Projekt co-founder Marcin Iwiński has announced he’ll be stepping down from his joint-CEO role – a position he’s held at the company for nearly 30 years – before the end of 2022.
Iwiński says he intends to remain a major shareholder in CD Projekt after vacating his joint-CEO position, and will “remain active and engaged” in supporting the board in his new non-executive role.
“I am beginning a brand-new personal chapter at CD Projekt,” Iwiński wrote in a statement shared following the company’s latest investor meeting, “as I will submit my candidacy for the role of Chairman of the Supervisory Board, leaving behind my joint-CEO role.
“I’ve been at CD Projekt for almost 30 years and I have seen it go from a handful of passion-driven rebels to an internationally recognised developer of story-driven role-playing games loved by millions globally.
