The Girls Next Door aren’t the only women leaving the Playboy Mansion. Christie Hefner, the daughter of publishing magnate Hugh Hefner, plans to step down next year as chief executive office of Playboy Enterprises, the adult entertainment company announced on Monday.

Christie, 56, will relinquish her role as CEO on January 31.

Christie began working at Playboy fresh out of college. In 1982, she became president of Playboy Enterprises and was made chairman and CEO in 1988.

““Playboy Enterprises Inc. has literally and figuratively been my life and career for more than 30 years. Last month marked my 20th anniversary as CEO; just as this country is embracing change in the form of new leadership, I have decided that now is the time to make changes in my own life as well,” Hefner said in a statement.

Hugh has nothing but praise for his daughter.

“She has worked tirelessly to expand the company’s franchise, and, as a result of her efforts, the company today has more consumers and fans than at any time in our history.”
