Ian Fielding Takes the Helm as CEO of Super Evil Megacorp
Ian Fielding, previously the studio head at Super Evil Megacorp, has been promoted to the position of CEO. Concurrently, Kristian Segerstrale, the former CEO, will assume the role of executive chair. Fielding's appointment marks a significant milestone in the company's history, as he brings a wealth of experience from his previous roles at Insomniac Games and Riot Games, where he was instrumental in the launch and operation of Valorant as a senior production manager. Since joining Super Evil in 2021, Fielding has successfully guided the studio's expansion from a mobile-focused developer to a cross-platform entity. Notably, he served as the executive producer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate, a project that underscored the company's commitment to co-op and crossplay features. In a recent interview, Super Evil Megacorp expressed its intention to continue integrating these features into future titles. Reflecting on his new role, Fielding expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to work alongside Segerstrale and his enthusiasm for the company's future, stating, "I'm excited for the future of Super Evil as we begin to realise the long-term plans we have in motion to grow Super Evil into a top-tier independent studio with world-class talent that creates unforgettable shared gaming experiences." Segerstrale also shared his sentiments, saying, "I am very proud of what we have built as a long-lasting independent games company. Our recent years' success is largely thanks to Ian's stewardship. We see an enormous opportunity ahead and I believe Super Evil is set up to succeed with Ian as CEO, as the business leader helming our incredibly committed team."
