Jason Citron, the founder and CEO of Discord, announced his departure from the position of head of the company on April 28, 2025. He is not leaving the company entirely and will remain on the board of directors. The new leader will be Humam Sakhnini, who previously served as president of King (the developer of Candy Crush) and CFO at Activision Blizzard. The leadership change is associated with preparing Discord for an initial public offering (IPO) and the desire to increase the company's efficiency.

Discord's IPO is one of the most anticipated events in the technology market of 2025, considering the company's growth, loyal user base, and potential for scaling. However, the exact timelines, stock price, and number of shares offered will only be known after the filing of the S-1 form. Investors should consider both the high growth potential and the risks associated with market volatility and changes in the business model after the IPO.
