Last March, Reggie Fils-Aimé joined GameStop’s board of directors. Now, just over a year later, it has been announced that the former president of Nintendo of America is one of eight members who are expected to leave the company after their annual meeting in June.
This information comes through a GameStop file, which also reveals that Kathy Vrabeck – a former Activision executive – will leave, although her departure was originally announced in January.
GameStop looks at how this turnover can disrupt operations, strategic focus and the company’s ability to generate shareholder value. The stock market saga and the global pandemic obviously didn’t help either. It also clarifies that it is not because of a disagreement regarding operations, policies or practices.
“The pensions contemplated are not due to a disagreement with us on any matter related to our operations, policies or practices.”
As far as we know, Reggie has a lot to lean on. Last year, he joined the board of directors of Brunswick Corporation – a “world-class leader in the shipping industry”, signed as a strategic advisor to Rogue Games, and was also placed on the board of directors of Spin Masters – a leading company in children’s entertainment.
