Newly appointed CEO of Electronic Arts, 39-year old Aussie Andrew Wilson has appointed Patrick Soderlund as head of EA Sports, Wilson’s former role in EA before being promoted; Soderlund also keeps his old title as executive VP of EA Games Label . Frank Gibeau has been moved from EA Labels to EA Mobile as well.
The leadership positions of other EA executives remain the same, however.
Wilson wrote after announcing the changes, ”Our priorities right now are simple – we must deliver on our FY14 plan, continue the transformation of our organization for our digital future, create amazing games and services, have a ruthless focus and execute. I will work closely with my senior management team to help drive these priorities through the organization. Each of these leaders will report directly to me in their roles.”
Wilson was officially installed as Electronic Arts CEO last week, replacing the ousted John Riccitiello.
