Annapurna taps Netflix exec for its beleaguered gaming label

Former Netflix executive Leanne Loombe is joining Annapurna Interactive as executive vice president and head of games, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Loombe helped build out Netflix’s game development and publishing arm, and now she’ll likely face new challenges as a leader of the gutted games publisher.

“I’ve always admired how incredibly thoughtful Annapurna Interactive is about supporting developers who have a strong creative vision and empowering them to create high quality games that players love,” Loombe said in a post on LinkedIn. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to continue creating and strengthening a place developers can call home.”
