Robert A. "Bobby" Kotick is an American businessman who serves as president and CEO of Activision Blizzard. After starting his business career as co-founder of a software development company in the 1980s, in 1986 he founded International Consumer Technologies, serving as president until 1995. He subsequently purchased a controlling stake in 4Kids Entertainment, serving as CEO until 1990. In 1990 Kotick was part of the reformation of the video game company Activision, becoming CEO and overseeing a number of major acquisitions. With Activision Blizzard since the 2007 merger of the two companies, on February 16, 2012, he was elected an outside director of The Coca-Cola Company.
At Activision, Kotick set out to build "an institutional quality, well managed company with a focus on the independent developer." In a 14 June 2010 interview with gaming blog Kotaku, Kotick stated, "…Part of the whole philosophy of Activision was whether you're owned outright or not, if you're a studio you have control of your destiny, you could make decisions about who to hire, flexibility on what products to make, how to make them, schedules appropriate to make them, budgets." Kotick engineered the Activision Blizzard merge, and stockholders of Activision Blizzard approved Kotick as CEO of the combined company on 9 July 2008. In 2009, as reported by Forbes magazine, Robert Kotick received approximately $3.2 million USD in salary, benefits, options and incentives for his work with Activision Blizzard, of which $953,654 was his actual salary.
By 2013, Kotick was the second highest compensated CEO in the United States, earning $64.9 million USD, mostly in stock. Kotick has used Activision Blizzard's industry position to push partners for changes that he maintains would benefit the gaming community. In July 2009, Kotick threatened to stop making games for the PlayStation 3 platform if Sony did not cut the price of the console. Kotick also urged the British government to reward Activision for continuing to invest in the country's pool of game developers by providing Activision with the same kinds of tax incentives provided by Canada, Singapore and eastern bloc countries. Kotick has launched an Independent Games Competition with $500,000 in total available prize money for small developers working with new platforms and has stated that "keeping passion in game development is something that's important to him."
In October 2009, under Kotick’s direction, Activision Blizzard launched Call of Duty Endowment, a non-profit public benefit corporation, which helps soldiers transition to civilian careers after their military service, with a commitment to create thousands of jobs for veterans including those returning from the Middle East. Kotick recruited an advisory board composed of veterans representing the various service branches
