Phil Harrison, a former PlayStation and Xbox veteran, is moving from the gaming space to the technology world and announced on Twitter that he is joining Google as a vice president and GM.
Harrison spent over 15 years at Sony, from 1992 to 2008, where he helped the growth of Sony Computer Entertainment’s European arm, with a particular focus on the PlayStation hardware.
After a few years of moving between companies, he landed at Microsoft in 2012, where he worked in the Interactive Entertainment Team for three years.
Excited to be able to share that today I've started a new role as Vice President and GM of Google – and relocating (back) to California.
