PlayStation UK boss Feral Gara resigns

"His four years managing the UK business has significantly strengthened the brand."

Fergal Gara, the VP and MD of Sony PlayStation UK, has resigned from the company, in order to "pursue a new professional venture" according to an interview with MCV.

SCEE's GM of Nordics, East & South East Europe, Warwick Light, will take his place, and Gara will remain for the transitionary period until August 12.

Fergal Gara took the position at PlayStation in September 2011, and oversaw the release of both the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4.

"Fergal is an extremely talented leader, and in his four years managing the UK business has significantly strengthened the brand and made countless contributions to our success," said European chief Jim Ryan.

"He has also served as a key member of the European Executive team, helping to steer PlayStation to even greater heights. We are extremely grateful for his dedication and for the legacy that he leaves.

"I have complete confidence that Warwick is the right person to replace Fergal in the UK role, and his 20 years of service to Sony has been marked by outstanding performance."
