Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra, who stepped down back in January, has a new job: CEO of PrizePicks, a daily fantasy sports company.
In 2021, Ybarra was appointed co-head of Blizzard alongside Jen Oneal. The pair replaced J Allen Brack, who resigned following the California civil rights lawsuit. A few months later, Oneal announced that she was leaving Blizzard, and Ybarra became the studio's sole head until this year, when he unexpectedly quit shortly after the Microsoft acquisition went through. Former Call of Duty general manager Johanna Faries is now Blizzard president.
