Nicolo Laurent is stepping down from his role as CEO of Riot Games and will be succeeded by the company’s current global president, Dylan Jadeja, according to an official statement issued by Riot. Laurent is moving to an advisory role to focus more on his family after six years in the CEO position. The CEO transition is expected to be completed by the end of 2023.

Laurent has been a major part of Riot Games since the company was just a “40-person startup” in 2009, before stepping into the role of CEO in 2017. Under his leadership, Riot Games has been accused of fostering a sexist “bro culture ,” during which Laurent was personally accused (and later cleared) of sexual misconduct against his former executive assistant.

Jadeja has been with Riot Games since joining as Chief Financial Officer in 2011, and held the position of global president since 2017. Laurent claims that it’s taken around three years to plan who would succeed him, and that for the first time in his 17- year history, Riot “looked both inside and outside the company to find the very best person for this role.”
