Bandai Namco has appointed Adrien Guerra as its new country manager for the UK and Nordic regions.

As reported by GI.biz, he replaces John Galloway, who had been the company's VP of Northern Europe since 2009. Guerra joined Bandai Namco that same year as a marketing and comms director for the French-Benelux area. Before that he spent five years at EA as a senior international marketing manager.

"The UK and the Nordics are key territories for development in Europe, so I feel both honoured and excited to work with the amazing teams that John Galloway has assembled," said Guerra.

Galloway added: "It's been an amazing 15 years with Bandai Namco, and 30 years in this industry. I leave knowing the teams, the company and growth are in capable hands with Adrien taking up the helm.

"Thank you to all our partners I have had the pleasure of working with over the years, and the teams in the UK and Nordics, along with the German and CEE teams."
