Speaking to the change, the man taking on Gibeau’s duties for the time being, EA CEO Andrew Wilson, applauded Gibeau saying, he “made many significant contributions to the company, our people and our games. Most recently, he’s worked to strengthen EA Mobile by building a great team. We thank Frank for his achievements at EA, and we wish him all the best in his next chapter.”
This is not the only recent executive departure, Don Mattrick leaving Zynga just a few weeks ago, and Phil Harrison leaving Microsoft back in April. We here at Gamespresso wish Gibeau the best in whatever he may pursue moving forward.
