    Jim Ryan was Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's (SCEE) executive vice president and co-chief operating officer. He was responsible for managing all aspects of SCEE Finance, Treasury, MIS, and Human Resources.

    Jim Ryan ascended to president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment in 2019 succeeding Shawn Layden and oversaw the PlayStation brand for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles. In 2023, Ryan announced that he would step down from his role in March 2024.

    Legacy

    Jim Ryan left a mark as one of the most controversial presidents overseeing the PlayStation brand after making comments against backwards compatible gaming for which the PlayStation was known for in its early days.

    Ryan continued on in his role during the Microsoft-Activision Blizzard King deal, flying back and forth between countries around the world attempting to convince regulators to block the merger at every turn.
