Microsoft has today announced that Peter Moore, vice president of Interactive Entertainment Business (IEB) at Microsoft will be leaving the company for personal reasons. He will stay on through August to oversee the change that will see Don Mattrick lead the IEB.
“Peter has contributed enormously to the games business since joining Microsoft in 2003 and we are sad to see him go,” said Robbie Bach, president of Entertainment and Devices Division at Microsoft. “Since that time, he presided over the global launch of the Xbox 360, spearheaded a revitalized and rebranded Games for Windows business, and helped steer the console’s ascent.”
Moore will return with his family to Northern California and will take a position at Electronic Arts as President of the EA SPORTS label.
Mattrick was the founder of Distinctive Software Inc. until its merger with EA in 1991. At EA Mattrick held various senior positions, including president of Worldwide Studios, until his resignation in February 2006. Since then he has been working with the Entertainment and Devices Division at Microsoft as an external advisor.
