In a significant leadership change at Sony, Hideaki Nishino has been named the sole CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE), effective April 1, 2025. This news comes from a recent press release, which also highlighted other executive shifts within the company.
Alongside Nishino's promotion, Sony's CFO, Hiroki Totoki, will ascend to the role of president and CEO of Sony Group Corporation. Totoki succeeds Kenichiro Yoshida, who has led the company since April 2018, taking over from Kazuo Hirai. Additionally, Lin Tao, currently the SVP of Finance, Corporate Development, and Strategy, will step into the CFO position.
Just last year, following the retirement of former SIE CEO Jim Ryan, it was announced that leadership of SIE would be divided between Nishino and Hermen Hulst. Hulst was appointed head of PlayStation Studios, while Nishino took charge of hardware and technology. With Nishino's new appointment, he will now oversee the entire SIE operation and lead the platform business group, whereas Hulst will continue to focus solely on PlayStation Studios.
Nishino, who joined Sony in 2000, previously held the position of SVP of the Platform Experience Group. Commenting on his new role, Nishino stated, "I am truly honored to take the helm at Sony Interactive Entertainment. Technology and creativity are two of our biggest strengths as we continue to focus on developing experiences that deliver entertainment for everyone. We will continue to grow the PlayStation community in new ways, such as IP expansion, while also delivering the best in technology innovation. I want to thank Hermen for his expertise and leadership as he continues his role as CEO, Studio Business Group. I am deeply grateful for the PlayStation community and their continued support and I am very excited for what the future holds."
