CDC Games, the "free-to-play, pay for merchandise" model for online games, has appointed Jeffrey Longoria as its new President of CDC Games International (CGI). CGI, a subsidiary of CDC Games, was created to launch new games internationally and to position CDC Games as a global publisher of online games.

Jeffrey Longoria takes the position of president of CDC Games International, moving over from CDC Software, a sister company in the CDC family. At CDC Software, Longoria most recently served as senior vice president of strategic alliances where he and his team managed key relationships with technology, consulting and channel partners, including the strategic relationship with Microsoft for CDC Software, CDC Games and other companies in the CDC family. Longoria came to CDC Software through the acquisition of c360 in May 2006. At c360, a global provider of CRM add-on products, industry-specific CRM solutions and CRM development tools for Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Longoria headed sales, where he and his team grew sales 173 percent in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006 through a distribution network that now totals more than 700 authorized partners. Longoria will work from the Atlanta, Georgia, U.S. office, the headquarters of CDC Games USA, a business unit of CDC Games International.

Peter Yip, CEO of CDC Games noted, ’’We are very happy to have Jeffrey assume the top leadership position of CDC Games International. Jeffrey’s experience is ideally suited to driving our growth objectives as we expand CDC Games internationally. Additionally, this move is a great example of the deep and diverse management experience we possess throughout the CDC family of companies. This unique flexibility gives us a significant competitive advantage across our global organization."

Mr. Longoria remarked, "The key to success for CDC Games International will be our partnerships, both in terms of license relationships with games developers and distribution relationships for the games we choose to market via third parties. With the solid foundation we have established in China, our opportunity for global expansion is significant. I look forward to forging the mutually beneficial partnerships that will propel the growth and success of CDC Games International."
