Sumo Group’s Founders Depart the Company

Sure, let me give this a whirl.

—

So, here’s the scoop: Sumo Group’s bigwigs—y’know, the folks who got it all rolling in the UK gaming scene—are hitting the road after, what, 22 years? Wild, huh? Yeah, Carl Cavers, Paul Porter, and Darren Mills. These guys basically made Sumo what it is today, and now they’re movin’ on. It’s like watching your favorite band split up—not cool, but maybe kinda understandable?

Anyway, they spilled the beans to some investors, saying Carl was waving bye-bye to his CEO desk, while Paul and Darren were also packing up. And get this, the big chairs are now gonna be shared. Yup, CFO Andy Stewart teams up with Gary Dunn, who just got a shiny new title—chief operating officer. Crazy times.

Oh, and Tim Repa-Davies, the legal whizz, just leveled up too. Now he’s on the board! Maybe I’m thinking too much here, but was this all planned? Who knows. But hey, Carl did say leaving was tough, like giving up Netflix for a week. Yet, he’s sure Sumo’s in good hands. I guess when you build something for two decades, it’s hard to see it go off on its own.

Andy chimed in, kinda philosophical, like, saying Sumo’s growing up or something. Staying true and all that jazz. Wonder what’s cookin’ next for them. New horizons? Who can say.
