After serving as its chief executive for more than a decade, Twitch CEO Emmett Shear will take a step back at the company.

Shear is one of the original founders of Justin.tv, the variety livestreaming service that would grow into Twitch. Justin.tv was eventually overshadowed by Twitch, its spin-off service focused on gaming, and the latter product became the team’s sole focus back in 2014. That same year, Amazon bought the company for $970 million — a steal considering the Twitch’s massive cultural impact today.
