Rovio Appointed Pekka Rantala as New CEO


(Web Design in Cambodia, Digital Marketing Agency, restartbox.com)- Rovio, the founder of the Angry Birds app, has named current Hartwall CEO Pekka Rantala its new chief executive officer, who will take over the job early next year.

Meanwhile, Mikael Hed, currently the CEO of Rovio, will join the company’s board of directors as well as take on the role of chairman at Rovio’s animation studios.

Following its global breakthrough with Angry Birds in which players use a slingshot to attack pigs who steal birds’ eggs, Rovio has expanded the brand into an animated TV series and merchandising of toys and clothing.

Yet, the Finland’s firm has struggled to retain players and earnings halved last year due to investments in the animation business as well as stalling sales.
