(Reuters) – GameStop Corp is looking for a new chief executive to replace George Sherman as the pivot of being a video game retailer for an e-commerce firm, three people familiar with the matter said on Monday .
It would be GameStop’s biggest shakeup since Ryan Cohen, co-founder and former CEO of online pet food company Chewy Inc., joined its board in January.
GameStop’s board of directors is working with an executive director to look for the CEO, sources said, requesting anonymity because the matter is confidential.
A GameStop spokesman declined to comment.
