Treyarch studio head Mark Gordon will step down after 22 years at the company to “focus on his next chapter,” the studio announced.
Gordon first joined the Call of Duty developer in May 2005 as chief technology officer. He became studio head in November 2016.
Treyarch’s Kevin Hendrickson and Yale Miller will replace Gordon as co-studio heads, each bringing “decades of development and leadership experience” to the role.
Here is the full message from Treyarch:
After an extraordinary 22 years with Treyarch, our own Mark Gordon has decided to retire from his role as studio head to focus on his next chapter.
We’re incredibly grateful to Mark for his steady guidance and deep care for the studio, its culture, and its people. Mark’s impact on the franchise has been immeasurable, from Call of Duty 2: Big Red One and Call of Duty 3, to World at War and the entirety of the Black Ops series.
As we look ahead, we’re pleased to announce that Treyarch’s Kevin Hendrickson and Yale Miller will step into the roles of co-studio heads. Kevin and Yale are veterans of the franchise with decades of development and leadership experience, both bringing a wealth of deep game knowledge and a shared commitment to Treyarch’s culture and creative ambition.
From all of us at the studio: Thank you, Mark, for your leadership, friendship, and all you’ve achieved to make Treyarch such a wonderful place to call home.
