Mr. Sakhnini was previously the vice chairman at Activision, the gaming publisher behind titles like Call of Duty and Candy Crush.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Discord is in talks to go public as early as this year, and was valued by private investors in 2021 at roughly $15 billion. The app is especially popular among gamers, and has over 200 million users.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Citron will remain on the company\u2019s board and be an adviser to Mr. Sakhnini, he said in the statement. Mr. Sakhnini helped oversee Activision when <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/10\/13\/technology\/microsoft-activision-blizzard-deal-closes.html\" title=\"\">Microsoft bought it for $69 billion<\/a> in 2023 and left the company shortly after the acquisition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In an <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/games\/why-discord-founder-jason-citron-is-stepping-down-from-ceo-job-exclusive-interview\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">interview<\/a> with VentureBeat, a gaming publication that reported earlier on the management change, Mr. Citron said that he was \u201cmore of a builder, an early-stage kind of guy,\u201d and that \u201chiring someone like Humam is a step in that direction\u201d of a public offering.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Discord was founded in 2015 by Mr. Citron and Stanislav Vishnevskiy, who had started a video game studio and invented a tool for people to communicate while playing games together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The company grew through the years and became especially popular during the pandemic, when interest in video games peaked. In 2021, Discord held talks with Microsoft about an <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/03\/23\/technology\/microsoft-discord-deal.html\" title=\"\">acquisition in the range of $10 billion<\/a>, though no deal was made.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last year, Mr. Citron testified at a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2024\/01\/31\/technology\/child-safety-senate-hearing\" title=\"\">congressional hearing about online child safety<\/a>, where senators grilled him and the chief executives of Meta, TikTok and X about lapses in safety on their social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Discord primarily makes money from its premium subscription service, but in recent years has expanded its revenue from advertising and so-called microtransactions by people using the app.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion
