The previous holder of the position, Chris Cocks, is currently CEO of Hasbro.broke the story earlier this morning on X, the site formerly known as Twitter. According to Hasbro, the company does not have a successor for the position lined up. The search is on for her replacement.

Williams came to the company from Microsoft. She was General Manager and Vice President, Gaming Ecosystem Commercial Team for their Xbox division. Her selection led many to believe that Wizards of the Coast was looking to expand into the digital space. Shortly after taking the position, Wizards of the Coast acuired D&D Beyond and has since made it central to their marketing strategy.The company saw some of its highest moments within the two years of her tenure.

Williams last day as president is April 26th, 2024. A spokesperson for Wizards of the Coast had this to say when Rascal News reached out for a comment: "We’re excited for Cynthia to take the next step in her career and grateful for the contributions she has made in her more than two years at Wizards and Hasbro.
