Xbox stellt neue Strategie- und Technikchefs in jüngster Führungsumbildung ein

Die Xbox-Sparte von Microsoft hat Matthew Ball als Chief Strategy Officer und Scott Van Vliet als Chief Technology Officer eingestellt und setzt damit die unter Gaming-Chefin Asha Sharma begonnenen Anpassungen in der Führungsebene fort.

Die Neubesetzungen sind Teil der fortlaufenden Führungsumstrukturierungen bei Xbox, die auf die Anfang des Monats angekündigte umfassende Reorganisation folgen. Ball war zuvor als Leiter der Strategieabteilung bei Amazon Studios tätig und arbeitet als Risikokapitalgeber. Er hat über das Metaverse geschrieben und in seinem „State of Video Gaming“-Bericht festgestellt, dass Spiele um die Aufmerksamkeit der Nutzer mit Plattformen wie TikTok, Krypto-Diensten, KI-Apps und OnlyFans konkurrieren. Sein anfänglicher Fokus wird darauf liegen, das Konsolengeschäft angesichts steigender Bauteilkosten zu stärken. Van Vliet kommt als Chief Technology Officer an Bord.
