Francis Townsend, Executive Vice President Activision Blizzard Corporate Affairs, Corporate Secretary and Chief Compliance Officer, is no longer an executive sponsor ABK Women’s Network, a network of female employees of the company.
A series of events and actions by Townsend led to this resignation. After it became known about the lawsuit against Activision Blizzard, she wrote a letter to the company’s employees. In it she announcedthat the accusations paint a distorted and wrong picture, and that all the facts are false, outdated and taken out of context.
Most of the employees disagreed with the letter, and Bobby Kotick himself described this answer as “morally deaf.” The company’s workers’ union has demanded the resignation of Frances as the executive sponsor of the ABK Women’s Network.
Shortly before that, former adviser to George W. Bush and longtime girlfriend of Bobby Kotick deleted her twitter after a long fight with the players and employees of the company. So far Townsend keeps all their other positions in the company.
