In March last year, Reggie Fils-Aimé joined the GameStop board of directors. Now, just over a year later, the former Nintendo American president has been announced as one of eight members who plan to leave the company after their annual general meeting in June.
This information comes via a GameStop filter, which also reveals that Kathy Vrabeck – a former CEO of Activision – will be leaving, although it was initially announced in January.
GameStop notes how this turnover could disrupt the company’s operational activity, strategic focus and ability to manage the value of stockholders. It is clear that the stock market saga and the global pandemic have not helped. And it also clarifies that it is not because of disagreements over activities, policies or practices.
“The proposed retirements are not the result of disagreement with us about any matter related to our work, policies or practices.”
As far as we know, Reggie has enough to fall back on. Last year he joined the board of Brunswick Corporation – “world-class leader in the marine industry”, signed as a strategic advisor to Rogue Games, and was also appointed to the board of Spin Masters – a leading company in children’s entertainment.
