Greg Ballard to Resign as Head of San Mateo-Based Glu Mobile

San Mateo, Calif. -- Glu Mobile, a San Mateo-based publisher of mobile games, said on Wednesday that Greg Ballard will resign as its president and CEO following six years at the helm. The company said that its board of directors has retained executive recruiting firm Egon Zehnder to help find a replacement, with a Ballard retaining his role in the interim. "After six years, I have decided the timing is right to look for a new challenge," said Ballard. "The Glu board and I also share the view that this is a good time to bring in new leadership for the company, as we focus on returning to generating positive cash and begin even greater investment in next-generation mobile platforms." The company also has named Dan Skaff and Bill Miller as co-chairmen of its board of directors.
