Natalya Tatarchuk named Activision CTO in first post-Kotick leadership change


Activision has appointed Natalya Tatarchuk as its new CTO. Prior to the Call of Duty publisher Tatarchuk worked at Unity, Bungie and AMD.

“Those of you who know Michael know that he has been instrumental in driving innovation, fostering a culture of collaboration, and ensuring the success of numerous projects in his role as CTO,” said Dave Stohl, EVP of Call of Duty Development, in an email to employees. Natalya Tatarchuk’s appointment aligns with Activision Blizzard’s broader DE&I goals in the wake of state and federal investigations into sex discrimination and sexual harassment. Shortly before this, the publisher settled an unequal pay and sex discrimination case with the state of California, which withdrew its allegations against Activision.
