“I am very excited to help lead and develop Kongregate’s future.” “It is my intention to continue Kongregate’s growth and focus, and to build upon the strong culture Emily has created here,” Haritatos said in the statement. Haritatos started with the company in 2012 when the publisher began to expand into the mobile sector. Greer’s role will be filled in an interim capacity by Pany Haritatos, currently Kongregate’s COO. “She is a true industry icon and thought leader, and we are proud and thankful for having had the opportunity to work with her at Kongregate.” “We would like to thank Emily for all she has done for Kongregate, and we wish her the very best,” said Jorgen Madsen Lindemann, CEO and President of MTG. Currently, MTG is in discussions to invest in Greer’s new endeavour via a venture capital fund backing gaming startups. Greer plans to stay in the gaming industry, and may continue to work with MTG, the parent company of Kongregate, in an undisclosed capacity. “I could not be more proud of our accomplishments, the Kongregate team, and the culture we’ve built.” “Jim and I founded the company with the goal of helping small and independent game developers become successful, to help them find an audience, and compete in a crowded and complex gaming marketplace,” Greer said in a statement. Greer founded the company in 2006 with her brother Jim in an effort to highlight small indie developers. After 13 years at the helm, Kongregate founder and CEO Emily Greer has announced plans to step down.
