Reeves Leaving SCEE, House New CEO
Sony today sent out word that SCEE president and CEO David Reeves is to retire from the company at the end of the month.
Reeves has been in SCEE since 1995, initially managing several regional offices and helping launch the first PlayStation console in Europe. He moved to the UK in 1999 and became senior vice president for sales and marketing before the launch of the PS2. Reeves was finally named president of SCEE in 2005 and then CEO two years later.
His role will be filled by Andrew House, former chief marketing officer of Sony Corporation. House has been with Sony since 1990 and led the marketing strategies for the PS1, PS2 and PSP in America.
Most important thing for Sony in 09? Make money!
Being a big company in big financial trouble is never easy, like in Sony’s case. In 2009, the main priority for the company, short term at last, is to simply start making money. That’s according to SCEE president David Reeves, who recently said in an interview:
The most important thing for us as a company in the very short term is for us to start making money.
Reeves added that the company is on track to be profitable as they promised back in March last year. Sony still loses quite a lot of money on every PS3 sold, and has to rely extra much on the games sold. With Killzone 2 to slated for release next month, it should be a lot easier to turn a profit — no matter hos big or small — the last fiscal quarter.
