华尔街日报的消息：zynga新闻发言人周五对外宣布公司正式聘任前myspace首席执行官Owen Van Natta出任商务运营执行副总裁。

Owen Van Natta于2月从新闻集团旗下myspace离职，据AllThingsD称从那以后zynga就开始与Owen Van Natta进行相关接触。

在加盟myspace之前，Owen Van Natta还曾出任过facebook的首席运营官。

Former Facebook Inc. executive and MySpace Chief Executive Owen Van Natta has been hired by Zynga Game Network Inc. as executive vice president of business operations, a Zynga spokeswoman confirmed on Friday.

Zynga’s association with Van Natta, who left News Corp.’s (NWS,NWSA) MySpace in February, was previously reported by the AllThingsD Web site.

Closely held Zynga rose to prominence as the provider of games such as “Mafia Wars” and “FarmVille” on social-networking service Facebook.

Prior to joining MySpace, Van Natta had served as chief operating officer at Facebook.

MarketWatch, like MySpace, is owned by News Corp., which also owns Dow Jones Newswires and The Wall Street Journal.
