Zynga Inc. Chief Operating Officer John Schappert was stripped of his role overseeing game development in a reorganization aimed at reviving growth and making more money from mobile services, people with knowledge of the matter said.
David Ko, who runs Zynga’s mobile operations, and Steve Chiang, executive vice president of games -- both of whom reported to Schappert -- now report directly to Chief Executive Officer Mark Pincus, the social-gaming company said today, confirming information from people who yesterday asked not to be identified because the changes hadn’t been made public.
