Juergen Goeldner appointed as interim CEO of Starbreeze
The Board of Directors of Starbreeze has appointed the current board member Juergen Goeldner as interim CEO of Starbreeze, taking office with immediate effect. A recruitment process for a permanent CEO has been initiated.
Juergen Goeldner has spent 40 years in the gaming industry and has had several executive positions. His last executive position was as CEO of Focus Home Interactive. Juergen Goeldner has been a board member of Starbreeze since 2023.
“The company has a clear strategy centered around creating attractive games on our own and licensed IPs. The board’s consolidated assessment is that the execution of strategy needs a different leadership. Juergen Goeldner has been part of the board since 2023 and, with over 40 years of industry experience, is a strong interim solution,” says Torgny Hellström, Chairman of Starbreeze.
Tobias will be available to Starbreeze for a smooth transition.
“On behalf of the board of directors, I would like to thank Tobias Sjögren for his achievements during the past three years. Tobias took over the helm of Starbreeze in a challenging phase of its journey and we wish him well in his future endeavors,” Torgny Hellström continues.
“Starbreeze has a strong history of developing and publishing games globally. After launching Payday 3, the company is well-positioned to leverage the strengths of the organization to monetize and develop the IP portfolio. I am looking forward to assuming an operative position and, together with the management, ensure the execution of this strategy,” says Juergen Goeldner, interim CEO of Starbreeze.
Juergen’s role as a board member and the nomination to chairman is not affected by this appointment.
