Activision Publishing CEO resigns

29 April 2010

 

No, not Bobby Kotick, he’s the general CEO, president and Board member for Activision Blizzard. Mike Griffith was formerly the president and CEO of Activision’s publishing division. 

Although Griffith stepped down last week Friday, his resignation was only revealed yesterday via paperwork that was published online. 

While he will be stepping down from his role as CEO, Griffith will remain on as the vice-chairman of Activision Blizzard. 

According to the filing, “Duties as Vice-Chairman of Activision Blizzard include participating in Board of Directors and Chairman of the Board meetings and other internal strategy sessions; providing counsel to Activision Blizzard’s executive team; and providing services on key initiatives and projects, as requested by the CEO.” 

Griffith’s resignation comes as the legal dispute between Activision as Infinity Ward employees continues to escalate.
