CD Projekt Red CEO Adam Kiciński has announced he will be moving to a supervisory role at the company in 2025 and will therefore be stepping down as CEO as part of a larger management shake-up.
Kiciński, who will have been at CD Projekt Red for 30 years as of 2024, will resign as a member of the management board at the end of that year. Before he does so, he will transition from his current role as CEO to the role of chief strategy officer as of January 1, 2024.
Current chief creative officer Adam Badowski and current chief commercial officer Michał Nowakowski will take over as joint-CEOs of CD Projekt Red also as of January 1, 2024.
The supervisory board Kiciński is joining oversees the activities of CD Projekt Red and performs its duties by issuing recommendations and adopting resolutions. CD Projekt co-founder and former joint CEO Marcin Iwiński made the same move in October 2022, joining the supervisory board and therefore leaving behind his management board duties.
Kiciński was involved in CD Projekt Red from its foundation in 1994 and has since served in several roles including marketing director from 1999 to 2004, co-director in 2004, director in 2006, and more.
CD Projekt Red also announced today, October 5, that Cyberpunk 2077 has sold 25 million units, outpacing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt at this point in its life cycle. A live action Cyberpunk project was also confirmed to be in development.
