Microsoft Xbox Strategy and Marketing Executive Coming to Apple?
According to MCV, Richard Teversham, Microsoft’s senior director of business, insights and strategy for Xbox will be leaving the firm for a position at Apple. Teversham has apparently accepted an ‘education-related’ role at Apple’s European office. He worked for Microsoft for over 15 years and held the role of Xbox director for platform and marketing between 2005 and 2007 before becoming strategy boss.

A Microsoft spokesperson told MCV this week: “We can confirm that Richard Teversham, director of business, insights and strategy, has taken a new opportunity outside of Microsoft. A process is underway for recruiting his replacement.”
With Apple’s achieved success in not only mobile applications, but gaming on the iPhone and iPod Touch, could they finally be taking this sector seriously? While his role at Apple still remains unclear, it is apparent that they will begin focusing their efforts towards the gaming industry.
