Dave Karraker - Image 1Dave Karraker, the senior director of corporate communications at Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA), has announced that he will be leaving SCEA.

Karraker's last day at SCEA will be on Friday, making his stay as SCEA's PR head just a little over a year. He was appointed to his current post on September 5, 2006. He will then move on to a stint at beverage maker SKYY Spirits starting October 1.

According to Karraker, he took the position at SKYY Spirits since it "presented a global opportunity near my home in an industry where I have previous experience that I feel I must pursue." His resume includes managing communications for brands such as Beefeater, Kahlua and Courvoisier.

There is no word yet on who will replace him as SCEA's PR head. Reasons for Karraker's departure also remain unrevealed.

good riddence

lets hope sony employ someone who may actually push sales of psp's ps3's and push better games from developers, some one with the insite to allow homebrew would be good too

HAHAHAHA

Well...this guy didn't help push the PS3 as much as a man of his position would. Good luck to his alcohol endeavors...Sony needs someone more competent in his place. :D

He done well

He did his best but how do you sell a dying horse ?

Selling a dead horse is M$'s game. Not Sony's.

"Reasons for Karraker's departure also remain unrevealed." Thats a joke right? Kinda like Sony and their Public Relations recently. Oh wait, that was his job huh. Hopefully the next guy will actually spend his time communicating effectively with the community regarding issues they actually want to hear about. Here's an idea. The 'next guy' oughta step up, and make a statement regarding WarHawk sometime today.
