The hire puts a firm stake in the ground for Yuga Labs' gaming ambitions as it prepares for additional tests of its Otherside 'metaverse.'
Yuga Labs is set to bring in a new CEO from gaming giant Activision Blizzard, with current CEO Nicole Muniz moving into a role as partner and strategic advisor.
Bored Ape Yacht Club creator Yuga Labs is the latest crypto company set to change its leadership with the appointment of Daniel Alegre, former president and COO of Activision Blizzard, as its CEO. Activision Blizzard is known for developing blockbuster games such as Call of Duty and World of Warcraft. Alegre had been in the seat since early 2020. The business is currently being acquired by Microsoft for $68.7 billion, pending regulatory approval. The deal was expected to close as early as 2023 but recently hit a bump in the road when the U.S. Federal Trade Commission formally opposed it.
