Don Mattrick (image from GamesIndustry.biz) - Image 1Don Mattrick, the former worldwide president of studios at Electronic Arts, has signed on with Microsoft. During his EA stint, he oversaw franchises such as Need for Speed and The Sims. Mattrick left EA in 2005. According to GamesIndustry.biz, Mattrick will take on an advisory role, working for Microsoft's entertainment and devices division.

Mattrick, however, will not be a full-time Microsoft employee and will continue to work out of Vancouver rather than at the company's Redmond offices. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Xbox boss Peter Moore said that Mattrick will "assist Microsoft on a broad array of tasks including helping its own game studios."
