  • Greg Solano, co-founder of Yuga Labs, has replaced former Activision Blizzard executive Daniel Alegre as CEO after Alegre’s brief 10-month tenure.
  • Solano hinted at plans for Yuga Labs’ future, including creating a subsidiary for Bored Ape Yacht Club and providing updates on the Otherside metaverse and new gaming projects.
  • Solano taking over comes as rival NFT project Pudgy Penguins briefly surpassed Bored Ape Yacht Club in floor price, presenting challenges for Yuga Labs’ market position.

Yuga Labs, the company behind Bored Ape Yacht Club and ApeCoin, has a new CEO. Greg Solano, co-founder of Yuga Labs and known by his pseudonym Garga, is taking over the top role from former Activision Blizzard executive Daniel Alegre.

Alegre’s Brief Stint as CEO

Alegre spent only about 10 months as Yuga Labs’ CEO before being replaced by Solano. He was brought on last year to lead the Web3 company into its next phase of growth. However, his tenure proved to be short-lived.

Solano Steps Back In

With Alegre out, Solano is retaking the CEO position. Though referred to as a co-founder, Solano hasn’t been publicly called the CEO until now. He made the announcement in a blog post, hinting at some of his first plans for Yuga Labs.

Plans for Yuga’s Future

In the post, Solano mentioned creating a separate subsidiary just for Bored Ape Yacht Club, the company’s flagship NFT collection. He also teased upcoming updates on the Otherside metaverse and new gaming projects aimed at the mainstream.

Facing Rising Competition

Solano taking over comes at a challenging time for Bored Ape Yacht Club. Rival NFT project Pudgy Penguins briefly surpassed Bored Apes in floor price this week. With competitors gaining ground, Solano will need to take bold steps to keep Yuga Labs on top.
