Carl Yankowski, onetime Sony Electronics COO and later a senior officer at Reebok and Palm, was tapped as the new CEO at Majesco, the N.J.-based videogame publisher. Majesco said Yankowski would help its expansion plans for Europe and play a key role in nurturing its proprietary Game Boy Advance Video product line. “Majesco is entering an exciting growth period and we are confident that under Carl’s additional guidance, the company will reach its full potential,” said Jesse Sutton, the previous CEO who remains president.

The company has evolved into a full-fledged game publisher with original licenses such as BloodRayne. ----
