Sony Appoints New Worldwide Studios President
Publisher and PlayStation maker Sony Computer Entertainment has named Shuhei Yoshida as president of its worldwide development studios, effectively immediately.
In his 15 years thus far at SCE, Yoshida has served as a product development producer, vice president of product development at SCE America, and senior vice president of SCE worldwide studios.
Yoshida replaces former SCE studio boss Phil Harrison, who resigned in February for a presidential position at Atari owner Infogrames.
"Under the leadership of Yoshida, who has proven track record in managing creative talent, SCE WWS will accelerate the software development for the PlayStation 3 and PSP platforms and vigorously expand the gaming market," said SCE president and CEO Kazuo "Kaz" Hirai.
"This is amazing, I heard about this a few days ago. Shuhei is a stand up guy in the Japanese game..."3 Comments
