Sega Of America Names New COO. Great, Now Save Sonic.
Fresh off his Tiger Beat cover, longtime Sega of Japan exec Masanao Maeda has landed a cozy new job as COO of Sega of America. He most recently served as Corporate Director for Sega's Consumer Business Division, and the company credits him with some of their success in the West.
“Maeda carries a wealth of knowledge about SEGA and the SEGA properties with him thanks to his many years with SEGA of Japan in Tokyo,” said Mike Hayes, CEO of SEGA of America. “His accomplishments in Tokyo are a testament to the quality of leader we anticipate him being here as he helps to take SEGA of America to new heights in the video game market.”
So Mr. Maeda...don't suppose you'd like to show some 2D Sonic screens to celebrate, would you?
