Congratulations, Lisa and friends!
"PAIZO PUBLISHING, a publishing company run by Lisa Stevens
One of the hardest things in business is to unseat a market-leader, particularly when that market-leader created the entire field, but 2013 was the year when word spread that Paizo's Pathfinder RPG was outselling Dungeons & Dragons. It’s official: Paizo has used the OGL and a single-minded commitment to talent and quality to create a better D&D than D&D. Its achievement only seems extraordinary to those who don't know CEO Lisa Stevens’ extraordinary track record in the games industry, from Lion Rampant through White Wolf and Wizards of the Coast. Paizo's ability to raise $1m to crowd-fund a Pathfinder-based MMO in January 2013 was simply the apple at the top of the industry's new tallest tree."

Thanks to everyone for your congratulations. It is an honor to even be nominated by my peers for the Diana Jones Award. The list of past winners is like a who's who of the adventure gaming industry. It is a team effort and I have an amazing team here at Paizo. Thanks to everyone here in the PFO forums for coming along for the ride in the next chapter of my career. Can't wait to build PFO with you!
-Lisa

I suggest anyone interested in the history of Paizo to read Lisa's blog on this site as she recapped a decade of the company year by year. It's absolutely fantastic. Very well deserved indeed.
Link. (You'll want to read the articles from the bottom up.)
