BioWare/Pandemic exec steps up to CEO of VG Holdings

Greg Richardson has big shoes to fill as he takes the CEO post of VG Holdings. VG Holdings is the operating company of the merged giant dev, BioWare/Pandemic. John Riccitiello has stepped down from the post and has returned as the CEO of Electronic Arts.

The BioWare (Mass Effect)/Pandemic (Mercenaries 2) merger was made possible by Elevation Partners (Riccitiello being a co-founder). Richardson has been working as a senior exec since the merge and according to Roger McNamee is “natural choice to work with the BioWare/Pandemic executives as they come to create award-winning titles and expand their talent base.”

Well, the gaming industry’s top guns get shuffled and the world will keep on turning. Let’s hope that Bioware/Pandemic’s vision comes true – and more great titles for us.
