Sony sent out a release today describing the changes taking place internally at Sony Computer Entertainment America. Three new executive appointments have been made and all will report directly to the SCEA President and CEO, Jack Tretton. Let's see ... Robert Dyer will be appointed the Senior Vice President of Publisher Relations, Ian Jackson will be Vice President of Sales, and Sally Buchanan will grown into the position of Vice President of Human Resources. These positions take effect in March and April. Congratulations all around!These key positions have the combined experience of nearly 50 years in the industry. Dyer, originating from Crave entertainment, and even further back, Eidos and Crystal Dynamics, will oversee strategic co-marketing programs and cooperate with external developers and publishers. Jackson will oversee strategic sales and promotional initiatives across all PlayStation platforms. He's moving into SCEA from his Managing Director role at Sony Computer Entertainment Canada. He also held positions at EA, Panasonic and Microsoft. Buchanan will oversee career planning, leadership development, and talent acquisition/retention strategies.
Phew. Well, there you have it.

thats cool but I would much rather hear that they brought in some actual creative talent(artists, programmers etc)
I am sick of the executives. I really don't think they add much value, I never care about what they have to say and they are overpaid.
sorry to be so bitter.
