EA shakes up executive team, reorganizes studios

Electronic Arts has "shaken up its executive team," including hiring a new CFO, and has "reorganized the company’s studios under two groups" -- EA Entertainment and EA Sports. Stuart Canfield has been appointed EVP/CFO, taking over the role from Chris Suh, who decided to step down effective June 30. Under the new reorganization, the EA Entertainment unit will "comprise studios that create well-known IP" such as Apex Legends, the Star Wars games and Battlefield, CEO Andrew Wilson wrote in an email to employees. EA Sports will "comprise many of the sports offerings." Both organizations report to Wilson. Cam Weber has been "appointed president of EA Sports." These decisions come after Wilson "announced plans to lay off" about 6% of its workforce in late March and "restructure the company" (HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, 6/20).
