Frank Gibeau, Electronic Arts' Mobile Executive, has left the company. The Mobile division will now report directly to CEO Andrew Wilson.
"Throughout a more than 20-year career, Frank's made many significant contributions to the company, our people and our games," said Wilson. "Most recently, he's worked to strengthen EA Mobile by building a great team. We'd like to thank Frank for his achievements at EA, and we wish him all the best in his next chapter."
Gibeau spent more than 23 years working at Electronic Arts before working his way up to Mobile Executive.
