Mark Pincus’s social gaming startup Zynga says it’s hired five new people.
Two of them ex-Yahoos: former associte general counsel Reggie Davis and SVP of search Vish Makhijani. Two others are former EA execs, Colleen McCreary and Mike Verdu. They’ll be chief people officer and president of game development, respectively.
The fifth hire is new senior vice president of business operations Robert Goldberg, whom Inside Social Games says owns “25+ years of senior management experience in media, e-commerce, enterprise software, and venture capital firms.”
