Ngmoco poaches Sega exec

Sega of America president and CEO Simon Jeffery joins iPhone games developer.

In a move that will further bolster its already blossoming industry credentials, high-profile iPhone game developer Ngmoco has captured Sega of America’s president and CEO Simon Jeffery.

He will take charge of a brand new dedicated publishing arm at the developer dubbed Plus+ Publishing, the aim of which will be to partner with other iPhone developers and encourage wider use of its new publishing network, Plus+ Network – which some sources are calling “the Xbox Live of mobile social-network gaming”.

“I am delighted to join Ngmoco,” Jeffery stated. “It’s a very exciting time to be shaping a new games landscape with a super-talented team.

“With our new Plus+ Publishing we are going to be able to create a system for great developers to plug directly into an incredible, proven publishing framework and network technology to help accelerate their games.”
