EA Mobile has confirmed that Javier Ferreira, its vice president of European publishing, is leaving the company this April.
"EA Mobile's VP of European publishing will be leaving EA at the end of the fiscal year for personal reasons," a spokesperson tells PocketGamer.biz.
"In the coming months, EA will communicate its realigned publishing leadership team."
EA is currently carrying out a significant company-wide restructure, following a reportedly disappointing Q4 for its console activities.
Ferreira is the second key executive to quit EA Mobile's European team in recent months, following the departure of European marketing manager Tim Harrison before Christmas.
Since Ferreira joined the company, when EA acquired Jamdat in February 2006, EA Mobile has consolidated its position as the largest mobile games publisher. In Q3 2008, it generated revenues of $47 million, up 24 per cent year-on-year.
Speculation will now focus on who will take the reins at EA Mobile's European division, and also on where Ferreira and Harrison will pop up next.
With Nokia rumoured to be keen to bring in one or more big industry names to bolster its N-Gage platform, both men could be candidates.
