THQ announced Ron Moravek has been appointed Executive Vice President, Production reporting directly to THQ President, Jason Rubin.

Moravek joins THQ’s management team as the company is moving quickly to embrace new strategic business models, digitally connected experiences, and a more focused, high-quality game slate.

Moravek has over 14 years of experience in the videogame industry as both a creative development executive and business entrepreneur. Moravek co-founded and was COO of Relic Entertainment where he was a key member of the executive team that negotiated the sale of the studio to THQ in 2004, and served as the studio’s general manager until 2006. Over the next several years Moravek was VP and COO of Electronic Arts, Canada and co-founded and ran two different software companies. Most recently, Moravek served as a senior advisor to NuCaptcha, a cloud-based internet security platform, where he was responsible for developing the go-to-market and business growth strategy for their enterprise platform.

Additionally, Ron’s experience building high-quality products will help us continue to deliver great games and build upon our foundation to innovate digitally in the future.”
