日前，农场游戏《FarmVille》的开发商Zynga公司宣布，任命大卫·高（David Ko，前雅虎受众、移动和本地等业务部门的高级副总裁）为Zynga移动部门的高级副总裁，据了解，这一人事任命决定已计划了数月之久，但目前仍未公布大卫·高何时正式履新。

大卫·高所领导的部门是Zynga公司意欲征服的重要市场领域，但Zynga目前开发的众多Facebook游戏中，仅有《FarmVille》和《Mafia Wars》这两款推出了iPhone版本，足见大卫·高今后的工作任重道远。

“Zynga的全球移动发展战略”究竟有何深意仍不可知，但相信大卫·高在雅虎亚太市场的工作经历，定能在Zynga移动部门派上用场，希望他多关注美国本土市场，少做进军海外的计划，因为Zynga的美国手机游戏业务已有大量的功课需要他完成。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译）

What will Zynga’s new SVP of mobile mean for its future mobile games?

FarmVille creator Zynga announced today that it hired David Ko, formerly senior vice president of Yahoo!’s Audience, Mobile and Local divisions (all at different points in his time there), to lead Zynga’s mobile division as senior vice president. According to All Things Digital, this move has been in the works for months, but it is unknown when Ko will officially start.

“We are thrilled that David Ko has joined the Zynga team as senior vice president, mobile,” Zynga said in an official statement. “David’s extensive experience will be instrumental in his leadership of the Zynga global mobile strategy. David will report to CEO and Founder Mark Pincus.”

Zynga brought in Ko to spearhead the company’s growth in a pivotal area for the company to conquer. However, as Zynga only hosts two mobile games surrounding its Facebook properties, FarmVille and Mafia Wars for iPhone, Ko has quite a lot on his plate.

What “Zynga global mobile strategy” means exactly is uncertain, but it’s safe to assume that Ko’s experience in the Asian-Pacific market with Yahoo! will come into play. We hope his focus won’t be on foreign markets entirely as there is still a lot of work to be done here in the good ol’ USA with Zynga’s existing mobile games.

Not to mention we could use a few more games to play with on our phones from Zynga’s library. Can someone say, “FrontierVille for iPhone?”（source:games.com）
