Rovio Picks Up Former Fox Executive Andrew Stalbow as General Manager For North America
Rovio is continuing its Angry Birds world domination plans.
The company said today that it hired Andrew Stalbow, a former executive at Fox Digital Entertainment, to be its general manager for North America. Stalbow’s background plays into Rovio’s ambitions to be more than a gaming company and to have reach into film, books and toys.
Stalbow was responsible for licensing properties like Glee, Avatar and The Simpsons and already had experience working with Rovio through managing the partnership on the Fox film ‘Rio,’ and its Angry Birds app.
He will likely shepherd any Angry Birds feature-length animated film or TV series through production.
