Hideaki Nishino will become the sole CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE), effective April 1, 2025. This announcement, made via press release, also reveals that Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki is promoted to President and CEO of Sony Corporation, replacing Kenichiro Yoshida. Lin Tao, SVP of finance, corporate development, and strategy, assumes the CFO role.

Last year, SIE leadership was split between Nishino and Hermen Hulst following Jim Ryan's retirement. Hulst led PlayStation Studios, while Nishino oversaw hardware and technology. This new structure places Nishino in charge of all SIE operations and the platform business group, with Hulst retaining his PlayStation Studios leadership.

Nishino, a Sony employee since 2000, previously served as SVP of the platform experience group. In a statement, he expressed his honor at assuming the CEO position, highlighting SIE's strengths in technology and creativity and emphasizing continued growth of the PlayStation community through IP expansion and technological innovation. He thanked Hermen Hulst for his contributions and expressed gratitude to the PlayStation community.
