Infogrames Gets A New President

Founded way back in June 1983, Infogrames Entertainment SA is an international holding headquartered in Lyon, France, which owns 51.2 percent of Atari, and produces, publishes and distributes games for virtually any major game console and computer platform. The list of notorious products involving Infogrames includes Alone in the Dark, Civilisation III, Unreal Tournament and RollerCoaster Tycoon, to name just a few. Now, they just refreshed their top management team, with a new president...

Former president of Sony, Phil Harrison just arrived at Infogrames in the same position. Since we're talking about a French company, his title is, in fact "directeur general delegue", and its task is to oversee the studios' activity and the content development for the group.

As an addition to Harrison's entry in the company, Infogrames also appointed Mathias Hauterfort as executive vice president and chief operating officer with the role of head of global distribution, in charge with Atari's operations in the US, Asia and Europe.
