Today, we're sharing some exciting news about Runway's leadership. Our co-founder Anastasis Germanidis is stepping into the role of co-CEO alongside Cristóbal Valenzuela. Anastasis has been the driving force behind our research and the vision that makes Runway's technology unlike anything else in the world – this title change simply formalizes a structure that already existed.
We're also proud to announce a new generation of Runway leaders stepping into expanded roles across the company:
- Kamil Sindi is now our Chief Technology Officer
- Michelle Kwon is now our Chief Operating Officer
- Anna Chalon is now our Chief People Officer
- Jamie Umpherson is now our Chief Creative Officer
Each of these leaders has been instrumental to our growth, and we're thrilled to continue working with them to shape the future of world simulation.
