GameStop CFO Jim Bell resigns in wake of Reddit trading frenzy
GameStop is looking for a new CFO to help ‘accelerate its transformation’ after being rocked by a Reddit-led trading frenzy.
GameStop Corp said on Wednesday morning (AEDT) that it has begun a search for a new chief financial officer after Jim Bell said he would resign, effective March 26.
The video game, consumer electronics, and gaming merchandise retailer said it has begun a search for a permanent CFO to replace Mr Bell “with the capabilities and qualifications to help accelerate GameStop’s transformation.”
The company, which has recently been rocked by a Reddit-led frenzy, said that on the chance that it doesn’t find a suitable replacement by the time Mr Bell departs, it will appoint current Senior Vice President and chief accounting officer Diana Jajeh to the role.
