Description

We boast the #1 game on MySpace—Mobsters—and some of the fastest growing Facebook applications. But it doesn't stop there. Fueled by explosive growth on Facebook and an expanding pipeline of new games and features, we are one of the fastest growing social gaming companies on the planet. How do we do it? We're obsessed with one thing: our players. Everything we do is geared towards delivering the best possible player experience. It's a tall order, especially in an industry that's still young and evolving. But as part of The Walt Disney Company, we know that as long as we stay true to what's important to our players, we'll stay on course. That's the power of Playdom—where players rule! Before taking the helm at Playdom, John served as President of Publishing and Chief Operating Officer of Electronic Arts (EA), where he oversaw global operations for the four billion dollar gaming company and drove EA's digital initiatives. In addition, John drove a push to move EA from a software to a services model, and spearheaded the company's expansion into social gaming. Prior to joining EA, John served as President and CEO of Revolution Heath and CEO of Ticketmaster, the world's leading live event ticketing company. During his tenure at Ticketmaster/InteractiveCorp (IAC), John also oversaw several leading online entities such as Evite.com, Match.com, CitySearch.com and ReserveAmerica.com. John is a Director of the Board for The Artists Den, a music production and promotion company, and previously held Board of Director positions with Expedia.com, Active.com, Fastclick, Going.com and Extend Health. John earned a BA from Yale University and an MBA from Harvard University. John's favorite Playdom game is Wild Ones because global, synchronous, social, multi-animal animated annihilation can't be beat.
