I’ve resigned from Rovio - but can’t speak yet of the next step in my journey. @pottan will be stepping in as acting-GM for the studio.

All in all, these 4 years have been a blast, building Rovio Sthlm up from scratch - assembling one of the best teams I’ve ever worked with.

Obviously - also proud of launching some spectacular games - with AB2 probably the highlight of my career so far.
