Warner Bros. Games President David Haddad Stepping Down After 12 Years


David Haddad is exiting his role as president of games at Warner Bros. Discovey but staying on for three months to help kick off the search for a successor.

In a note to the division’s staff obtained by Deadline, JB Perrette, CEO and president of WBD ’s Global Streaming and Games, said Haddad “has thoughtfully and purposefully chosen a time when our release schedule is lighter which will help minimize disruption to our ongoing projects and strategic plans and allow this team to smoothly prepare for its next record-breaking title.” His vision, talent and passion have helped build one of the most successful and admired gaming companies in the industry and navigated some of the biggest changes and challenges as well,” Perrette said. Games’ numbers have been uneven in recent years with the blockbuster Hogwarts noted above followed by underperforming Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, MultiVersus and Joker: Folie a Deux.
