Activision Blizzard has announced a major leadership change as the company’s President J. Allen Brack steps down from his role.
Brack will be replaced by Jen Oneal and Mike Ybarra, who will act as Co-leaders for Blizzard going forward.
The announcement comes amidst a widespread backlash against the gaming conglomerate after a major lawsuit was filed by California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing. The lawsuit alleged discrimination, harassment and a ‘frat boy’ working culture at the company.
Oneal joined Blizzard in January this year as Executive Vice President of Development, where she’s been providing senior development leadership and support to the Diablo and Overwatch franchises.
