Hideaki Nishino Takes the Helm as Sole CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment
Hermen Hulst will continue to lead the studio transformation sector, while CFO Hiroki Totoki has been elevated to Sony Corporate CEO.
Hideaki Nishino has been named the sole CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, effective April 1, 2025.
Last May, Nishino and Hermen Hulst were appointed joint CEOs of SIE following Jim Ryan’s departure.
Hulst was in charge of the studio transformation sector, which manages PlayStation’s first-party development teams and the progression of intellectual properties into various formats. He will continue in this position and will report to Nishino.
In conjunction with these leadership transitions, CFO Hiroki Totoki has been promoted to CEO and president of Sony Group Corporation. Additionally, Lin Tao, the SVP of finance, corporate strategy, and planning, will assume Totoki’s previous role as CFO.
“It has been a privilege to collaborate closely with Hermen and Nishino, gaining insights into the dynamic and fast-evolving landscape of Sony Interactive Entertainment,” Totoki stated.
“As we pass the leadership to Nishino and this remarkable team, I am assured that SIE will achieve new milestones in the future.”
Nishino emphasized.
