Dave Karraker, senior director of corporate communications at Sony Computer Entertainment America, has announced that he is leaving Sony.

It has been a wild ride and an incredibly enriching experience. I have enjoyed immensely my tenure at SCEA and think the company and its brands are very well positioned to have an exceptional holiday and a very bright future. I look forward to continuing to follow this industry as a gamer, rather than a spokesperson.

Karraker begins his new job as head of PR over at Skyy Spirits on October 1.
