Week after Andrew Wilson named CEO, company reportedly appoints Patrick Soderlund to head of EA Sports, while Frank Gibeau will run mobile division and Origin.
A week after EA Sports executive Andrew Wilson was promoted to the role of EA CEO, the Battlefield and Mass Effect publisher has shifted its leadership structure, according to multiple sources speaking with Polygon.
EA Games Label executive vice president Patrick Soderlund will now see his responsibilities expanded, as he will take over as head of EA Sports, according to the report. Meanwhile, EA Labels president Frank Gibeau will reportedly henceforth run EA’s mobile group.
In addition to leading EA’s mobile business, Gibeau will take over as head of EA Origin, the position Wilson held–along with his post at EA Sports–prior to his promotion.
The information was leaked out of a company-wide “town hall” meeting today at EA. The company has not confirmed the reported leadership changes.
Wilson replaced John Riccitiello as EA’s top executive last week, after the position was vacant for a period of six months. Wilson will receive an annual salary of $800,000 in his new post, while executive chairman Larry Probst will remain onboard during the transition and continue to receive a $1.03 million compensation package.
