Yuga Labs, the creator of the Bored Ape Yacht Club, has appointed Activision Blizzard president Daniel Alegre as its new CEO.

The new hire will start in the first half of 2023 (perhaps the timing is vague since Activision Blizzard is in the midst of being acquired by Microsoft for $68.7 billion). Alegre will succeed Nicole Muniz, who will stay on as a partner and strategic adviser to the company.
