This guy!

Dan Sheridan.

His first major thing with Sega is a behind the scenes video at EGX right now. 

His past experience seems to be he was the community manager/heavilly involed with the community promotion side for EA games: https://twitter.com/ea_actionman

His new twitter account can be found here: https://twitter.com/ThisIsActionMan

So yeah, this guy is the new Sega community manager for Europe.

Why is he wearing a Sonic hat ??????????

* Looks at Mr. Sheridan's face

*Looks at Hogfather's avatar face

*Looks back at Mr. Sheridan's face.

Hmm.

And it seems like when he wore the Sonic hat he seems like he's bored.

In all seriousness, I wish him good luck and congrats on that position!

That face seems familiar, and not in the 'uncanny semblance with Ian Hislop' way either...

[Tani Coyote]

Annnnd he's got some damned big shoes to fill.

 

I would really hate to be the new guy in a position when the 25th anniversary is just around the corner.

 

Best of luck!

Archangel isn't the Europe Community Manager anymore? When did that happen? 

[Badnik Mechanic]

Several years ago.

Wish him the best of luck.

It was mentioned above, but it's Ian Hislop.  In my head, Hogfather is his identical twin.  It makes reading his posts a bit odd.

And so ends the run of one of the best community managers for Sega Europe since AAUK.

The article explains several of the things he did, which included really damn good things like just sitting and talking with a fan who was obviously pretty shy and introverted at the Lost World Steam Community Party, and doing things to help said person feel welcome, he gave out plenty of gifts and giveaways for fan involvement, he turned around a dying show (SEGA Central) and many other things.

Dan was the last part that even kept me remotely interested in Sega Europe after they solely focused on strategy games. He was a great guy and community manager and I really hope he has a bright future ahead of him.

[Meta77]

I'm guessing cause he was at Sega Europe since I'm stateside
