Jason Citron, Discord's co-founder and CEO, is stepping down, with former Activision Blizzard executive Humam Sakhnini set to take over on April 28. Citron will remain on the board and provide advisory support. In his farewell message, Citron emphasized the evolving role of a CEO and his belief that it was time to step back. Sakhnini expressed eagerness to collaborate with Discord's team to further the company's mission. This leadership change aligns with reports of Discord exploring an IPO, marking a significant transition for the platform.
"As we enter our next phase, I've been reflecting on how I can best contribute to Discord's long-term success... it's time for me to literally 'hire myself out of a job.'"
"I look forward to working with Stan and Discord's talented team to scale our business while staying true to the company's core mission."
