Xbox incorpora directores de estrategia y tecnología en sus últimos movimientos de liderazgo

La división Xbox de Microsoft ha contratado a Matthew Ball como director de estrategia y a Scott Van Vliet como director de tecnología, continuando con los ajustes de liderazgo bajo la dirección de la jefa de videojuegos, Asha Sharma.

Estos nombramientos forman parte de los continuos ajustes de liderazgo en Xbox tras la importante reorganización anunciada a principios de este mes. Ball trabajó anteriormente como jefe de estrategia en Amazon Studios y se desempeña como capitalista de riesgo. Ha escrito sobre el metaverso y señaló en su informe State of Video Gaming que los juegos compiten por la atención frente a plataformas como TikTok, criptomonedas, aplicaciones de IA y OnlyFans. Su enfoque inicial se centrará en fortalecer el negocio de consolas ante el aumento de los costes de los componentes. Van Vliet se incorpora como director de tecnología.
