Aaron Webber is the Director of Strategy, Studio & Community Relations at Sega of Japan, and former social media coordinator at Sega of America in San Francisco. He joined Sega sometime in 2008, and has worked on games such as Sonic the Hedgehog 4 and Sonic Generations.

History[]

According to an interview conducted by TSSZ News, he was a Sonic fan in the 1990s. In his school, the only thing that kids would ask was if one was a "Sonic kid" or a "Mario kid"; he claimed that he was a Sonic kid, being a fan of Sonic. He said that his passion for Sonic made him want to make Sonic games.

After three years of working in Sega, he earned a promotion as brand manager for Sonic Generations. On 27 June 2014, he left Sega to participate in charity and inspiring youth,[1][2] but he returned in June 2015 in hopes of using the Sonic franchise and the Sega brand for his charity interests.[1][3]

He also played the role of Tails in Sonic Boom the Musical - a video produced for the release of Sonic Boom.

On 18 June 2020, he left his position as social media coordinator to occupy another position in Sega.[4] On 7 August 2020, he revealed that he had become the Director of Strategy, Studio & Community Relations at Sega of Japan.[5]
