Thanks to their commitment and dedication, we are able to create great games that capture our players for years, even decades. In my new role, I will pay even more attention to creating an environment where they can flourish and reach their full potential. Only in this way will we achieve our ambitious goals together. I am grateful for the trust placed in me and look forward to playing an even greater role in shaping the future of InnoGames going forward."
