Hideaki Nishino appointed as the exclusive CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment

Effective April 1, 2025, Hideaki Nishino will become the exclusive CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment.

In a development last May, Nishino and Hermen Hulst were jointly named CEOs of SIE after Jim Ryan announced his retirement.

In conjunction with these leadership updates, Hiroki Totoki, previously CFO, has been elevated to the role of CEO and president of Sony Group Corporation, while Lin Tao, formerly SVP of finance, corporate development, and strategy, will fill Totoki's previous position as CFO.

"Collaborating closely with Hermen and Nishino has been an enlightening experience in the dynamic world of Sony Interactive Entertainment," Totoki expressed.

"As we transition leadership to Nishino and this remarkable team, I have full confidence that SIE will reach unprecedented successes in the future."

Nishino stated: "Our focus remains on expanding the PlayStation community and driving technological advancements.

"My gratitude extends to Hermen for his leadership, and I am thankful for the constant support of the PlayStation community. The future promises exciting developments."
