Paradox Interactive CEO Ebba Ljungerud “has decided to leave the CEO position with immediate effect,” according to a press release. Paradox Interactive is a Sweden-based publisher of video games like Crusader Kings III and Cities: Skylines. Ljungerud’s departure apparently comes “due to differing views on the company’s strategy going forward.” Ljungerud has been the CEO of the company since 2018, when she replaced Fredrik Wester. Wester continued to serve as the executive chairman of the board, and will now step back into the role he previously served in for 10 years. Board chairman Hakan Sjunnesson spoke highly of Ljungerud’s tenure as CEO.
What a ride it has been ❤️ but now it is over and the CEO torch goes back to Fred. Thanks to @TheWesterFront @PdxInteractive and all of our amazing players for these years, I look forward to new great things to come for the games and the company!
