I’m immensely grateful to Jim for all his achievements.
“I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Jim Ryan for his outstanding achievements and contributions over his 30-year career at Sony, including the great success of launching the PlayStation 5,” said Hiroki Totoki. “The PlayStation business managed by SIE is an essential part of Sony Group’s entire business portfolio.
