Activision Blizzard appoints new European managing director
4
In a hasty attempt to replace outgoing European higher-up Joerg Trouvain, Activision Blizzard has announced that it's found a replacement for the briefly open executive position -- the equally awesomely-named Thibaud de Saint-Quentin will be taking over as the company's European senior vice president and managing director of publishing come next Monday. Strangely enough, Saint-Quentin's auspicious résumé doesn't include any gaming industry experience -- he's actually moving to the job following 20 years of serving as vice president for Kraft Foods' division of coffee, a beverage we're currently enjoying. Damn, this guy's good.

Possibly the most European sounding name in the history of names.

Kraft Foods, huh? If you thought Guitar Hero's overbranding and cross marketing promotions were irritating before, just wait.

Activision is getting an exec from the packaged goods industry?
If you've got Activision stock, and for some bizarre reason still have it despite Bobby "Douchebag" Kotick being there, now would probably be time to unload it.
