Jeff Hilbert has stepped down as co-CEO at game-related talent agency Digital Development Management. He will continue on as a board member and active advisor, but he will now also pursue some other opportunities on his own.

The company will now be run by Joe Minton, the longtime president of DDM. That’s a big change for a talent agency that has had a lot of success in matchmaking in the game industry, putting developers together with publishers or investors.
