Sega has officially announced the resignation of Executiv✤e Vice President Kenji Matsubara after his request f🦄or resignation was accepted by Sega's board of directors.
An official statement from S🌸ega Sammy Holdings Inc. (via ) cited "personal reasons" as the explanation for Matsubara's abrupt resignation, with no further details provided. Matsubara was hired by Sega in 2014 as Chief Technology Officer for the company and served as the company's Executive Vice President since 2017. He also added the title of Chief Publishing🐭 Officer to his resume back in April.
Matsubara was no stranger to the gaming industry, having spent years at other major companies before his time at Sega. For nine years, he acted as President and CEO of Tecmo Koei and spent two years as the CEO of a local branch of the Zynga. Despite his relatively short-lived time with Sega, Matsubara presided over a resurgence of interest in the company, starting with the mocked, but ultimately successful 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sonic the Hedgehog movie.
Sega Sammy Holdings — the parent company of Sega Games — reported an in🅷crease in value at the end of their fiscal year, showing that the company has made strides in the right direction. However, it rema🥀ins to be seen whether this trend will continue as strongly in the future after the loss of Matsubara.
Any time there is a change in leadership in a company, you can expect that things wi൲ll be shaken up, particularly if that change in leadership happens abruptlꦕy with no apparent successor. While this is somewhat of a blow to the company, it also provides an opportunity for Sega toecruit a leader who can truly bring the company forward and become a mainstay of its next generation.
