Activision Blizzard Names New Executive Vice President for Corporate Affairs and Chief Communications Officer

Activision Blizzard has announced the appointment of Lulu Cheng Meservey as its new executive vice president for corporate affairs and chief communications officer. In her newly established position, Meservey will be responsible for defining the company's strategic direction and overseeing its communications efforts as a key member of the leadership team. Prior to her appointment, Meservey served on Activision Blizzard's board of directors since April and was also a part of the company's workplace responsibility committee, which was formed in response to a lawsuit filed in July 2021. With a background that includes roles such as vice president of communications at Substack and senior advisor at McLarty Associates, Meservey brings a wealth of experience to her new position. Since joining the board in April, Meservey has expressed her admiration for the company's commitment and integrity, noting a significant disparity between public perception and reality. She views this as an opportunity to share the authentic story of Activision Blizzard with its global community of employees and players, numbering in the hundreds of millions. Meservey's appointment follows the recent departure of Frances Townsend, the company's former EVP for corporate affairs.
