Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) President and COO
Daniel Alegre today sent the following letter to all employees
regarding Blizzard Entertainment.
August 3, 2021
I am pleased to announce that, effective immediately, Jen Oneal
and Mike Ybarra have been appointed co-leaders of Blizzard. Jen and
Mike will share responsibility for development and operational
accountability for the company. Both are leaders of great character
and integrity and are deeply committed to ensuring our workplace is
the most inspired, welcoming environment for creative excellence
and to upholding our highest game development standards.
Many of us already know Mike and Jen and have experienced their
leadership, their empathy and their unwavering sense of
accountability:
- Jen is an 18-year company veteran and the former head of
Vicarious Visions studio. As Executive Vice President of
Development at Blizzard, she has been providing senior development
leadership and support to the Diablo and Overwatch franchises.
- Mike has been in the technology and gaming industries for over
20 years, including 7 years as a senior executive at Microsoft’s
XBOX division. Most recently Mike was Executive Vice President
& General Manager of Platform and Technology at Blizzard
overseeing Battle.net and our Development Services
organizations.
With their many years of industry experience and deep commitment
to integrity and inclusivity, I am certain Jen and Mike will lead
Blizzard with care, compassion and a dedication to excellence.
With Jen and Mike assuming their new roles, J. Allen Brack is
leaving the company to pursue new opportunities.
