Former PlayStation exec joins Nintendo of America

Former PlayStation executive, Gio Corsi, has joined Nintendo of America.

Corsi – who was head of global second-party games at PlayStation before leaving at the end of 2019 – worked with IllFonic as its head of publishing and business development before joining Iron Galaxy Studios as its head of commercial in 2022.

Before that, Corsi held senior roles at LucasArts, Nexon, and EA.

Corsi is perhaps best known for leading PlayStation's «Building the List» initiative, during which he worked to bring Yakuza to Sony and, indeed, Western audiences, but Corsi also worked in third-party production and developer relations whilst at PlayStation, and reportedly led projects on the PlayStation Vita, too.

Now it seems Corsi is applying a similar skillset as his Sony role to his new position at Nintendo.
