Paradox’s new CEO Ebba Ljungerud on fans, growing, and karaoke

Paradox Interactive‘s new CEO, Ebba Ljungerud, sits in a small conference room just above the chaos of the publisher’s second public convention. Below, around 1,000 fans — including World War II soldiers and medieval nobles — wander between booths, panels, and musical performances. Climbing the stairs, I spot a group of them charging toward a surprised developer, questions bursting out of them.

“It’s the best introduction to work day I could ever have,” says Ljungerud.
