Australia’s Andrew Wilson has been confirmed as new CEO of Electronic Arts. Wilson has been EA Sports’ executive vice president, and also formerly led EA’s Origin digital distribution platform.
“When I think about our vision for the future, we have a very strong strategy around the ongoing development of the most amazing teams in the world. We have a tremendous pipeline of intellectual property, both current and new intellectual property, and we have been making investments in our digital platform,” said Wilson.
Former EA CEO John Riccitiello stepped down in March, with Larry Probst taking over as interim chairman. “To support Andrew in his transition to CEO, I will continue to serve as EA’s executive chairman for an indefinite period,” said Probst.
