Last March, Reggie Fils-Aimé joined GameStop’s board of directors. Now, just over a year later, it has been announced that the former Nintendo of America president is one of eight members expected to leave the company after the June annual meeting.
This information comes via a GameStop filing, which also reveals that Kathy Vrabeck – a former Activision manager – will be leaving, although her departure was originally announced in January.
GameStop notes how this revenue can disrupt the company’s operations, strategic focus, and ability to drive shareholder value. The stock market saga and the global pandemic clearly didn’t help either. And it also makes it clear that it is not a disagreement over operations, policies or practices.
“The envisaged retirement is not the result of a disagreement with us on an issue related to our business, policies or practices.”
As far as we know, Reggie has plenty to fall back on. Last year, he joined the board of Brunswick Corporation – a “world-class leader in the marine industry”, signed on as strategic advisor to Rogue Games and was also included on the board of Spin Masters – a leading company in children’s entertainment.
