Blizzard financial boss departs for Square (but not the Square you’re thinking of)

Blizzard chief financial officer Amrita Ahuja is departing the company to take up the same position over at Square. No, not Square Enix, the company behind Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest - this is the financial services company founded by Twitter boss Jack Dorsey. This is separate from Activision CFO Spencer Neumann heading over to Netflix. Square has been without a CFO since October, as CNBC reports. Ahuja started with Activision in 2010 as VP of strategy and business development, and eventually transferred over to Blizzard as chief financial officer in March 2018. In December, Kotaku reported a sea change in Blizzard’s executive leadership as an increasing number of Activision veterans - like Ahuja - coming into leadership positions on the other side of the company. This is particularly curious given the timing with Neumann’s departure as CFO of Activision. As noted in another CNBC report, there are conflicting reports around this one. Activision says it plans to fire Neumann for unspecified reasons, while a separate report suggests that Netflix has poached him from the publisher.
