(Reuters) – GameStop Corp is looking for a new CEO to replace George Sherman as it turns from a brick-and-mortar video game store to an e-commerce company, three people familiar with the case said Monday.
It would be the biggest uproar at GameStop since Ryan Cohen, the co-founder and former CEO of online pet food company Chewy Inc, joined the board in January.
GameStop’s board of directors is working with an executive headhunter on the search for the CEO, the sources said, asking for anonymity because the matter is confidential.
A GameStop spokesperson declined to comment.
