Joe, who previously held the post of exec vp, business development and strategic planning, will now serve as the company's chief strategy officer. While continuing to oversee business development, he will direct the company's windows strategy and digital initiatives, including wireless, interactive games and d-cinema. He will oversee the company's entry into new markets and new technologies and will also represent Universal on anti-piracy, public policy and MPAA matters.
