Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) has appointed Hideaki Nishino as its sole CEO, effective April 1, 2025. This announcement, part of a broader company restructuring, also reveals the promotion of Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki to President and CEO of Sony Corporation, replacing Kenichiro Yoshida. Lin Tao, SVP of finance, corporate development, and strategy, assumes the role of CFO.

The press release clarifies that this follows last year's decision to split SIE leadership between Nishino and Hermen Hulst after Jim Ryan's retirement. Hulst continues as head of PlayStation Studios, while Nishino now leads all of SIE, including the platform business group.

Nishino, a Sony veteran since 2000, previously served as SVP of the platform experience group. In his statement, he expressed his honor at assuming the CEO role, highlighting SIE's commitment to technological innovation and creative experiences, promising continued growth of the PlayStation community through IP expansion and technological advancements. He also acknowledged Hulst's contributions and thanked the PlayStation community for their ongoing support.
