Activision Blizzard president and chief operating officer Daniel Alegre is leaving the company on March 31, 2023 when his current contract expires. He joined the company in 2020.
Alegre will be joining Blockchain company Yuga Labs as CEO. It is the company behind Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs.
"Since exploding onto the scene with Bored Ape Yacht Club in 2021, Yuga Labs has quickly made a name for itself through a powerful combination of storytelling and community-building," said Alegre.
"The company’s pipeline of products, partnerships, and IP represents a massive opportunity to define the metaverse in a way that empowers creators and provides users with true ownership of their identity and digital assets. I look forward to working with the passionate, creative team at Yuga to innovate, inspire, and shape the future of the internet together."
@YugaLabs — home of @boredapeyc, @othersidemeta, @cryptopunksnfts, and more — is a creative powerhouse driving innovation and storytelling in Web3. I am extremely excited to lead the team to the next phase of growth. https://t.co/hS6O9DKhUT

That picture is what I think of when people say "sh*t eating grin"
That Twitter thread is the most delusional and stupid bunch of morons I've ever seen. They unironically believe that NFTs and web3 have a future.
Can he take Kotick with him?
Good, get the business men out and get people who know and care about the industry in.
Well can't they at least find some who aren't pieces of shit?
I believe I read somewhere that there is a correlation with being a businessman and sociopathy/psychopathy/narcissism. So it's a little bit of the chicken and the egg thing going on. The type of people who yearn to become CEOs are usually the types which lack empathy. And if you lack empathy... etc.
Sounds like the Republican Party.
Funny where he switched at.
Activision bliz is a sinking ship...
Theyz gotta abandon while they still have the chance hahaha
This guy: "Hmm, what company should I join that is even worse than Activision? This blockchain company or Haliburton?"

It's like business suicide with these guys lol, good riddance as others have said, but Bobby still remains.
