Both executives shared their new roles via LinkedIn.
索尼集團公司（紐交所：SONY）的索尼互動娛樂（SIE）任命Olivier Courtemanche爲其新的移動業務負責人，並任命Justin Kubiak爲移動業務發展和合作夥伴關係負責人。 這兩位高管通過LinkedIn分享了他們的新職責。
According to GamesIndustry.biz, Courtemanche, who joined SIE in 2022, previously served as PlayStation's co-head of mobile alongside Kris Davis, who is believed to remain in that capacity.
根據GamesIndustry.biz的報道，Courtemanche於2022年加入SIE，此前曾擔任PlayStation移動業務聯合負責人，與據信仍擔任該職務的Kris Davis一同負責。
Before his tenure at Sony, Courtemanche accumulated extensive experience at major companies, including Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META), Zynga, Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:DIS), and Electronic Arts Inc (NASDAQ:EA).
在加入索尼之前，Courtemanche在Meta Platforms Inc（納斯達克：META），Zynga，Walt Disney Co.（紐交所：DIS）和藝電（納斯達克：EA）等主要公司積累了豐富的經驗。
Kubiak, meanwhile, transitions to his new role after leading licensing and developer partnerships for PlayStation's mobile division. Since joining Sony in 2021 from Samsung, where he oversaw games partnerships, Kubiak has brought valuable expertise from his time at NCSoft, Scopely, and Disney Interactive.
與此同時，Kubiak將在領導PlayStation移動部門的許可和開發合作伙伴關係後轉任新職。自2021年從三星加入索尼以來，Kubiak已經從NCSoft，Scopely和迪士尼互動等公司的時間中帶來了寶貴的專業知識。
These leadership changes come amid a challenging time for Sony's mobile gaming efforts. Last month, the company shut down its first-party mobile studio Neon Koi, originally acquired in 2022 as Savage Game Studios. Founded by industry veterans from Rockstar, Wargaming, and Rovio, the studio rebranded in late 2023 before ultimately closing its doors.
這些領導層變動發生在索尼移動遊戲努力面臨挑戰的時期。上個月，公司關閉了其首席移動工作室Neon Koi，最初是在2022年收購的Savage Game Studios。 該工作室由來自Rockstar，Wargaming和Rovio的行業資深人士創立，於2023年底改名後最終關閉。
Back in May, the company posted a job listing revealing plans for a dedicated PlayStation mobile platform.
回到五月份，公司發佈了一份工作列表，透露了一個專門的PlayStation移動平台的計劃。
The listing called for "an experienced software engineer" to design the system architecture, manage backend services, and integrate the platform with existing PlayStation services.
該列表要求「一名經驗豐富的軟件工程師」設計系統架構，管理後端服務，並將平台與現有的PlayStation服務集成。
This move aligns with Sony's increasing investments in mobile gaming, as it aims to expand beyond its limited mobile portfolio and establish a stronger foothold in the growing $90 billion mobile gaming market.
這一舉動與索尼在移動遊戲方面增加投資的舉措一致，旨在超越其有限的移動業務組合，在增長中的900億美元移動遊戲市場中確立更強勁的立足點。
