Sony has received a new head of the company

Today it was announced that Katsuo Hirai, one of the most well-known heads of the Playstation development department, was appointed as the new president of the company. True, Katsuo Hirai takes office not immediately, but after a couple of months - in April. It is worth noting that the current head of the company has long been openly talking about his desire to leave his post. As far as can be judged, the appointment of head of Sony Katsuo Hirai automatically puts on top of the list of working areas of the corporation Playstation and all related areas.

From the end of last year, rumors began to circulate that Hirai would be the next head of the company, and lately the influence of the 51-year-old head of the corporation’s “game” division has increased significantly. Moreover, it can be assumed that in the next few years after the formation of Hirai as the main companies, the game "iron" and the content division will become the main priority for the Japanese corporation.

Comrade Hirai will not be so easy, because, despite the success of some areas of the company's work, in general it remains unprofitable. In this recession has been going on for several years. All this, of course, affects the stock price, which also falls. Hackers attacked the flames of fire last year - it was very inappropriate for Sony. Then the shares of the corporation fell in just a few days, the fall was significant.

In general, Hirai is a smart enough manager who could lead his own unit to success. Shareholders of the company hope that he will be able to bring the company to a new level, literally lifting it from its knees, if I may say so. Actually, there is hope for that, since the company is included in the hundred largest world brands, according to the rating of Millward Brown.
