It seems the ex-CEO of Sulake now has a job working at Betfair as a Managing Director. LinkedIn says he is "Responsible for the business performance of Betfair's gaming products." which is based in the UK.

Good luck to him I suppose :P
At least the new CEO is an old schooler and understands what Habbo is about.
Goodluck to him haha
Haha, obviously realised his performance wasn't helping
Bad decision by Betfair imo :P
They can have him, we don't want him
At least he won't get harrassed by teenagers with that one :D
good for paul! cant imagine he can ruin much there.
lol this.Quote:

He resigned, but for all we know it could have been a 'Resign or we'll fire you' situation.Quote:

He decided to step down. No one knows if he was forced or not, only Sulake probably know that information.Quote:

Shocking, a professional grown up got a new job after leaving one where he was harassed by teenagers on a daily basis.
Good luck to him there.
omg look at tht adams apple, he must be olddddddddddddddddd
but ye gd luck to him i guess haha
gl :/
Good luck to him I guess :P,
Hmm interesting
Hope he does well there
Bye Paul :D lets hope you don't come back!
I think he left him self
Well this is interesting, wonder how this'll go for him. Best of luck to him though! :P
He is clearly good at taking people money
If he wasn't fired / forced to quit, then the question would be why would a CEO just abandon his company.
because presumably in every other position he's held he's not had 12-18 year olds scream at him every dayQuote:

The same reason why any other person or CEO leaves a company? Sometimes it's just time to move on or do something different.Quote:

Same reason you spit out a piece of gum. You chew it until it is completely unrecognisable and, after leeching all the juices and taste from it, discard it for the next poor sod to clear up. The Story of Habbo - the LaFontaine Years ;)Quote:
