Gen Con announced that Bill Creonte has been hired as the new Sr. Vice President of Business Development.  His job will focus on increasing business opportunities in the video and computer gaming industry.

 

Creonte has been involved with the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) for nine years, most recently as Director of Exhibit Sales and Business Development and before that as National Sales Manager.

 

Earlier this year Gen Con announced its intention to offer a convention home for those left behind by the scaled down E3 (see 'Gen Con Courts E3 Biz') and hiring Creonte appears to be another step in that direction.
