Following last month’s sudden resignation of former LucasArts President Darrell Rodriguez and several key executives, Lucasfilm’s Jerry Bowerman was temporarily heading the company. Rodriguez marked the second abrupt departure from the company, with Jim Ward having resigned in April of 2008. Hopefully, those days are over, as today LucasArts today confirmed to IndustryGamers that Paul Meegan has been appointed president and general manager.
Starting mid-June, Meegan will report to Lucasfilm President and Chief Operating Officer Micheline Chau. Prior to adopting his new role, Meegan was the chief executive at Epic Games China. See Industry Gamers for more.
