Microsoft Gaming Names Kayleen Walters Head of ‘Minecraft’ Maker Mojang Studios as Åsa Bredin Exits


Microsoft Gaming's Kayleen Walters has been promoted to head of "Minecraft" maker, Mojang Studios, as current chief Åsa Bredin exits.

“Change is never easy, but I have full confidence in this team and its ability to deliver incredible experiences for our players and community,” Microsoft game content and studios chief operating officer Helen Chiang said in an internal memo announcing the shuffle Wednesday, which was obtained by Variety. Today, I’d like to share that Åsa Bredin has decided to step down from her role as Head of Mojang Studios to focus on personal goals outside of work. Kayleen will lead Mojang Studios in close partnership with our Global Leadership Team which includes Annie Chenn, Jens Bergensten, Ryan Cooper, Ada Duan, Scott Del Osso, Emma Brandt, and key partners across Marketing, PR, Human Resource, and CELA partners: Jeanie DuMont, Addie Coronado, Natalie Graham, and Nick Morgan.
