I know there’s 2 teams within wow developers. But I think ion is head of team 1. But that’s about it
The official post announcing the SL delay (and the prepatch date) was from some Blizzard guy (not Ion) with a title like “head of software”. Is that who you mean? Check recent wowhead page for that post.
I doubt that the title “head dev” exists. I’ve worked on 200-dev software teams at several companies, but there was never a “head dev” on them.
Instead, a manager runs a team of devs.

From what I understand (and I fully admit I may be wrong) - Ion runs the game play team where they design encounters, dungeons, and systems of the game. He does not have much to do with story development or the underlying software mechanics of the game.
The producer would oversee all of the above.
Does that make sense?

Team two is overseen by Topper McNabb, he spends alot of time in Stormwind/Darkmoon faire begging for money so he hasn’t had alot of time to watch what team 2 is actually doing, I guess he’s taking a hands off approach.
Salzman. He got promoted from accounting.
Got cha. Wasn’t sure what would be the proper title be
