Logitech CEO is leaving for another job

Logitech’s CEO of 10 years is leaving the company for a new job. Bracken Darrell has resigned and will be leaving the company “to pursue another opportunity.” According to the Logitech press release, Darrell’s resignation is effective Tuesday, but he will remain at Logitech “to ensure a smooth transition over the coming months.”

Logitech has long been a well-known name in computer accessories such as keyboards, mice and webcams, but its products became extremely popular at the start of the COVID pandemic, when many people had to learn or work from home. However, the company’s revenue is now seeing a dip as people return to schools and offices. Under Darrell’s watch, Logitech has also made some big acquisitions, including Blue Microphones (a brand the company is axing), gaming headset maker Astro, and streaming software maker Streamlabs.
