After the resignation of longtime CEO John Riccitiello EA have been looking for a replacement and they found one internally as Andrew Wilson (executive vice president of EA Sports) steps up to take the role as CEO. In an open letter Wilson pens a mission statement:
"I envision EA as the World's Greatest Games Company. This is not about what we are aiming for or what we will become. Rather, it is about an unfaltering commitment to what we will be every day. This is an attitude that must drive our culture as one team.
I also believe EA's strategy is sound. Our focus on our talent, our brands and our platform together with our investment in next-generation consoles, mobile and PC free-to-play, as part of our ongoing transition to digital, is right. But we have plenty of work ahead to ensure our collective success."
