Xbox snaps up former SCEE man

Maher joins from SCEE’s international software development team and will now be responsible for the editorial and production of the various European versions of Inside Xbox, the daily news magazine on Xbox Live.

Maher was recently voted by his peers in our 30 under 30 feature, a prestigious list of the top 30 up-and-coming games industry executives. He joined SCEE straight out of university in 2001, where he worked as a content producer on PlayStation.com for four years before moving to SCEE’s international software development team.

Daniel’s background makes him inimitably qualified for the exciting plan of rolling out Inside Xbox across Europe,” said director of Xbox Live Europe Robin Truchy. He joins at a time when Xbox LIVE is becoming increasingly important as we look to provide excellent editorial and on-demand HD content across Europe.”

Maher added: The opportunity to play a key part in generating exclusive Xbox Live editorial content and helping to develop a strategy for the roll-out of Inside Xbox across Europe is a thrilling prospect on both a professional and personal level. I am eager to build upon Xbox Live’s status as the world’s best and most innovative platform for digitally distributed content.”
