Thanks neo1980 for sharing this with us. No. 1 independent video game publisher Electronic Arts Inc. on Wednesday appointed Amazon.com Inc. former chief financial officer Warren Jenson as its own CFO, replacing long-time executive Stan McKee.

Jenson left Amazon in March, shortly after the online retailer reported its first-ever profitable quarter. At the time, he said he was looking for new challenges.

"It really for me was coming up with the right opportunity," Jenson told Reuters. "This fits really well with the knowledge I built up in the other places."

Before Amazon, Jenson, 45, served as the CFO of Delta Air Lines Inc. and of TV network NBC, a unit of General Electric Co.
