\"Fandom\u2019s

\n\t\t<\/figcaption><\/p><\/figure>\n

After six years as Fandom\u2019s CEO, Perkins Miller is parting ways with the popular wiki hosting platform.<\/p>\n

While there has yet to be an official announcement, The Verge has learned that Miller is no longer working for Fandom as of last week. In a statement sent to The Verge <\/em>on Fandom\u2019s behalf, Katie Schroeder confirmed Miller\u2019s departure and noted that, while the company is currently being overseen by interim leadership, \u201cwe have not announced a new CEO as of yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

After leaving StubHub to join Fandom in 2019<\/a>, Miller oversaw the company\u2019s $50 million acquisition of a number of entertainment content platforms<\/a> from Red Ventures including TV Guide, Metacritic, GameSpot, <\/em>and Giant Bomb<\/em>. At the time, Miller said that the deal was meant to \u201cexpand our business capabilities and provide immersive content for our partners, advertisers and fans.\u201d The deal also led to<\/a> multiple rounds of layoffs<\/a> for the editorial staff at some of Fandom\u2019s newly-acquired properties. During an all-hands meeting last October<\/a>, Miller pointed to corporate restructuring and missed revenue targets as some of the causes of the layoffs.<\/p>\n

While Fandom\u2019s IP-specific wikis are popular, they have become widely known for being difficult to navigate due to a preponderance of aggressive ads that often make pages unstable to the point of being nearly unusable. When asked about Fandom\u2019s user experience during a Decoder <\/em>episode back in 2023, Miller said that he thought \u201cwe\u2019re doing our best to make it as elegant as we can, and yet, we need to drive the economics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though Fandom hasn\u2019t named who might replace Miller, the PlayOn! Sports Network<\/em><\/a> \u2014 which aggregates videos of high school organized sports \u2014 announced today<\/a> that he has signed on as its new CEO.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
