Commenting on the appointment Ewan Pinder, HMV’s head of technology and games, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Mike to HMV, not just for the great experience and fresh approach he will bring but also by way of giving much greater focus to our games peripherals and digital business, which is an increasingly important category for us.”
