Logitech’s CEO of 10 years is leaving the company for a new job. Bracken Darrell has resigned and will “leave the company to pursue another opportunity”. according to a Logitech press release. Darrell’s resignation is effective Tuesday, but he will remain with Logitech for the next month to ensure a seamless transition.

Logitech has long been a household name in computer accessories such as keyboards, mice and webcams, but its products took off at the start of the covid pandemic when many people had to learn or work from home. However, the company is seeing falling revenues as people return to schools and offices. Under Darrell’s leadership, Logitech has also made some big acquisitions, including Blue Microphones (a brand the company is doing away with), maker of gaming headsets Astro, and Streamlabs, maker of streaming software.

Logitech board member Guy Gecht will act as interim CEO as the company searches for a new leader. Gecht has been on the board since 2019. “After nearly a decade of consistent growth and building market leadership across multiple categories, I believe this is a good point to hand over leadership,” Darrell said in a statement. “I want to thank all the great people at Logitech for their work over the years. I will work with Guy and the board to ensure a smooth transition and I will continue to be a customer, shareholder, and continued fan of Logitech and its products.”
