Interview – SCEE’s Andrew House
Andrew House, president, CEO and CFO of SCEE, has been in the PlayStation business forever, it seems.
He’s held many executive positions within Sony – VP of marketing, CMO, and group executive to name a few – and he played an integral role in developing the PlayStation brand into a household name in North America.
Therefore, it’s safe to say that the gentleman knows a thing or two about Sony’s consoles and the business end of those products.
Being the inquisitive types, we wanted to pick his brain a bit, and lucky for us he was on hand today after Sony’s E3 press conference.
