Dave Neubecker Promoted to Vice President for FOX Sports Interactive

Dave Neubecker Promoted to Vice President for FOX Sports Interactive is today’s business-side update, the sort of suit-and-spreadsheet news that still decides what games actually reach players.

The useful part: Neubecker will report directly to Fox Interactive’s President, Steve Bersch. A seasoned game industry professional, Neubecker was hired in 1997 as the first employee of the newly created sports division at Fox Interactive. Charged with creating a competitive sports brand of video games, Neubecker was instrumental in creating the strategic direction, as well as managing and developing the marketing and production aspects of the FOX Sports Interactive business. File it under the usual 1999 PC pile: interesting, crowded, and probably fighting five other releases for attention.
