Vinciquerra

Since taking the reins of SPE in 2017, Vinciquerra has streamlined the studio’s cross-collaboration efforts with sister companies including Sony Interactive Entertainment, resulting in game adaptations such as 2022 theatrical release “Uncharted,” starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, upcoming series “The Last of Us” (HBO) from “Chernobyl” creator Craig Mazin and “Twisted Metal” (Peacock), starring Anthony Mackie. But perhaps his boldest and most prescient move was to keep SPE out of the streaming business, allowing it to be an independent provider to all content distributors, including Netflix and Disney, with whom it cut big licensing deals in 2021. Vinciquerra pulled off a 172% year-over-year jump in operating income for SPE for the fiscal year ending in March, aided by the blockbuster “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” which has grossed $1.9 billion worldwide.
