It's no surprise there has been a shake up in leadership after the recent lawsuit involving Activision Blizzard and Brack will be replaced by co-leaders Jen Oneal and Mike Ybarra. Their goal is "to ensure Blizzard is the safest, most welcoming workplace possible for women, and people of any gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or background..."
A final message from J. Allen Brack was included in the news release:
“I am confident that Jen Oneal and Mike Ybarra will provide the leadership Blizzard needs to realize its full potential and will accelerate the pace of change. I anticipate they will do so with passion and enthusiasm and that they can be trusted to lead with the highest levels of integrity and commitment to the components of our culture that make Blizzard so special.”
