Several months ago, MMO developer Funcom announced plans to open up a development studio in Montreal, Canada. This week the company announced that it has brought in someone to serve as the CEO of their new Canadian operations.

That person is Miguel Caron who comes into his new gig from outside the game industry including heading up Lyrtech Inc. He comes into his new position as Funcom as the company has been dealing with large amounts of recent layoffs as well as a delay in the release of their next major MMO project The Secret World. However, the company recently launched the beta of their first casual MMO Pets Vs. Monsters. They also have their upcoming commerical expansion for Age of Conan, Rise of the Godslayer, in the works.
