FULL STORY ======================================================================

Leadership at American game publisher Devolver Digital is shifting, as its been confirmed that Douglas Morin has stepped down as CEO after more than two years in the role. This change comes as part of planning for Devolvers long-term growth and development.

Taking Morins place is Devolver co-founder, major shareholder, and executive chairman Harry Miller, whos also held the position of CEO before. Miller helped establish the company back in 2009, and in a post announcing the news on Wednesday (January 31), he was described as instrumental in growing Devolvers business and culture.

"On behalf of the Board and everyone at Devolver, I would like to thank Douglas for his significant commitment and achievements at Devolver in the last four years, Miller said in a statement. Douglas' energy, leadership and determination were critical to our IPO and programme to build our infrastructure as a listed company, culminating in the exciting System Era acquisition. I am excited by the opportunity to step back into the CEO role.

It's an incredible pleasure and honour to continue to work with Devolver's fantastic and talented team, building out a strong pipeline of fun and creativity, and of course delivering on our long-term growth strategy, he continued.

Along with this change, theres also been some reshuffling of the companys board and chair. Namely, senior independent director Kate Marsh is now non-executive chair, stepping away from her role as chair of the remuneration committee in order to become chair of the nomination committee. Non-executive director Jo Goodson is doing the opposite - becoming chair of the
remuneration committee instead of the chair of the nomination committee. Meanwhile, Devolver co-founder and chief operating officer Graeme Struthers has joined the companys board.

Devolver Digital has published numerous well-known indie games over the
years, from Massive Monsters roguelike hit Cult of the Lamb , to Sectordubs puzzle adventure Pikuniku and Dodge Rolls bullet-hell Enter the Gungeon .
