Saad Choudri takes over the role of CEO of Miniclip from Jurgen Post
A few days back, Jurgen Post stepped down as CEO earlier this year for family reasons. Rob Small, the President, had temporarily stepped back into the role of CEO in the company that he founded 20 years ago to ensure that strong leadership remained during this transition.
Regarding Jurgen’s decision to step down to take more time with his family at a difficult time, Rob Small also commented: “I would like to take this opportunity to express my personal gratitude to Jurgen for all that he has contributed to Miniclip during his tenure. We have deep compassion for his situation and wholeheartedly support Jurgen’s decision to focus on his family for the foreseeable future.”
Now as Saad Choudri takes over the reins from Jurgen Post as the new CEO of Miniclip from November 2021, he brings with him over a decade of experience from within Miniclip, and a background working in Sega before starting at Miniclip in 2011. Moreover, he has worked in numerous roles including VP of Business Affairs, Chief Commercial Officer, and most recently Chief Strategy Officer.
Miniclip has a long history of leading in the industry, first to browser, before innovating in mobile. Its strong vision and focus on building quality games that reach billions of people to unleash the gamer in everyone, has always helped define the business and allowed us to find ways to innovate in a crowded and unpredictable marketplace.

If hes the CEO I think he needs to be reheld responsible for lying to everybody saying that there’s not bots and they’re not trying to rip people off that’s all they do is rip people off if they need to be held responsible for it
