Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) announced significant leadership changes, effective April 1, 2025. Hideaki Nishino has been appointed sole CEO of SIE, succeeding the previous co-leadership structure. This follows the retirement of Jim Ryan last year, which led to a split leadership between Nishino and Hermen Hulst.
Simultaneously, Sony Corporation announced the promotion of Hiroki Totoki, currently CFO, to President and CEO of the entire company, replacing Kenichiro Yoshida. Lin Tao, SVP of finance, corporate development, and strategy, will step up as the new CFO.
Nishino, a Sony veteran since 2000, previously served as SVP of the platform experience group. In his new role, he will oversee all SIE operations and lead the platform business group. Hermen Hulst will continue as head of PlayStation Studios.
In a statement, Nishino expressed his honor at assuming the CEO position, highlighting SIE's strengths in technology and creativity. He emphasized a continued focus on expanding the PlayStation community through IP expansion and technological innovation, thanking Hulst for his continued leadership.
