Ken Williams

Ken Williams co-founded Sierra On-Line with his wife Roberta Williams in 1979, helping transform the company into one of the most influential adventure game publishers of the 1980s and 1990s. A programmer and entrepreneur, he led Sierra’s growth behind groundbreaking titles like King’s Quest, Space Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, and Quest for Glory. After Sierra’s acquisition in 1996, Ken stepped away from the game industry, later returning to development with Roberta for Colossal Cave.
