Head of Sony Computer Entertainment America Stepping Down


Jack Tretton, President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America will officially be stepping down from his positions on April 1.

Tretton made the following statement today:
"It is with mixed feelings that I inform you that I will be stepping down as President and CEO of SCEA effective March 31, 2014. This is a result of a mutual agreement with SCEA, and I leave knowing that the PlayStation brand has never been stronger, PlayStation 4 momentum continues to accelerate, and the future will only get brighter for our gamers.
Serving PlayStation fans for the past 19 years has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my career. Your passion for gaming inspired me every day."
Tretton has been with Sony since 1995. He was present during the releases of the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 3.

Tretton will be replaced by Sony Network Entertainment Internationals Executive Vice President and COO Shawn Layden
