Hermen Hulst and Hideaki Nishino step up to new leadership roles.
Sony has announced who will replace Jim Ryan as the company’s CEO.
Nishino will meanwhile be appointed CEO of the company’s Platform Business Group.
Hulst has served as head of PlayStation Studios, and previously led developer Guerrilla Games.
Guerilla wasacquired by Sony in 2005.
Since then, the studio has become best known for its work on the Horizon series.
Nishino, meanwhile, was previously SVP of Sony’s Platform Experience Group.
In addition, he will also oversee third-party publisher and developer relations and commercial operations.
This will include sales and marketing of hardware, services, and peripherals, Totoki said.
“I am honoured to be appointed such an important role alongside Hermen.
Both Hulst and Nishino will report to Totoki when the changes come into effect on 1st June.
These values will serve us well as we embark on the exciting future for SIE.”
Its a true privilege to be asked to lead the new Studio Business Group for Sony Interactive.
Ryan left PlayStation in March, soon after the exec announced company-wide layoffsequating to eight percent of its workforce.
This included the closure of PlayStation Studios' London Studio, plus reductions made withinSony’s Firesprite studio.
