Electronic Arts Inc. appointed longtime executive Laura Miele as its new chief operating officer, a revamp of leadership that marks a big promotion for the most powerful woman in video games.
Miele, 52, moves from her role as head of the company’s studios for the last three years, EA said Thursday in a blog post. The maker of games such as Madden NFL, FIFA 21 and Battlefield said the promotion will be effective later this year. Blake Jorgensen, who served as the company’s COO and chief financial officer, is leaving around mid-2022.
