Asmodee has appointed Thomas Koegler their new Chief Executive Officer, the company announced.
Koegler's appointment to CEO places him on the Embracer Group’s Executive Management Team, alongside Stephane Carville and Marc Nunes, who are now Asmodee Board Members and Senior Advisors at the company. Asmodee's current board now includes the following members: Lars Wingefors (Chair of the Board), Kicki Wallje-Lund (Deputy Chair), Stephane Carville, Marc Nunes, Jacob Jonmyren, and Linda Holjo.
This is an internal promotion for Asmodee, as Koegler has been with Asmodee since 2015. He started as their International Program Manager and in 2019, became Head of Strategy and Business Development.
“Asmodee is home to incredibly talented people and fantastic brands, with tremendous growth potential for the future within tabletop games and into other forms of entertainment,” said Kœgler on his promotion. “I am honored and humbled to step into the position of CEO and to carry on Asmodee’s legacy into its next era, bringing incredible play experiences into every home and celebrating tabletop gaming as a major form of entertainment.”
In his new role as CEO, Koegler will look guide Asmodee into their next phase of growth as a company. He will have some work to do, as Asmodee sales were down 5%, to $292 million (converted from SEK at today’s exchange rate) for the most recent quarter (see "Lower Sales").
