The New President of Blizzard: Who Will Fill Mike Ybarra’s Shoes?

In a surprising turn of events, Microsoft announced earlier this week that it would be reducing its workforce by 1900 employees, which includes the departure of Mike Ybarra, the former Microsoft executive who served as the president of Blizzard.

With much speculation surrounding who will replace Ybarra in this position, an update on the matter is expected next week. According to a report published by Bloomberg, Microsoft intends to announce the new president of Blizzard soon.

Bloomberg: “Blizzard has announced that its new president will be announced next week.”

Although it is not yet clear who exactly will replace Ybarra, recent reports have also revealed that the company’s director of design, Allen Adham, has left Blizzard.

Matt Booty, a representative from Xbox, released a statement yesterday, thanking Mike for his over two decades of work at Microsoft and for leading Blizzard as the president. Going forward, Xbox will implement a “more focused strategy” within Microsoft Gaming to ensure sustainable growth and align talents and resources with the company’s “most important goals.”
