Netflix appoints Mike Verdu as game development VP

Streaming platform Netflix will now be expanding into video games, and for that the company has appointed Mike Verdu, a former Facebook and Electronics Arts executive as its new VP of game development.

According to the ANI report, Verdu was previously VP of content for Facebook Reality Labs where he oversaw Oculus Studios and teams that brought second-and-third-party virtual reality games to Oculus VR headsets.

Before that, he was the SVP of mobile for Electronic Arts where Verdu was responsible for mobile games like ‘Plants vs. Zombies 2’, ‘The Sims Freeplay’ and ‘Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes’.

Now, at Netflix, Verdu will be reporting to George Peters, Netflix’s chief operating officer and chief product officer.

Last week, the streaming platform also signaled that it was moving into the podcast space with the new hire of N’ Jeri Eaton, a former Apple and NPR executive as the company’s first head of podcasts.
