We’re building a structure that allows us to take a major step forward and genuinely challenge the world’s leading game studios, and Fredrik’s international experience and proven track record make him an excellent fit for this journey. We are grateful for Mikael’s continued contribution and pleased he will remain with us during this transition.”
