Reuters first to report GameStop initiates search for new CEO

Reuters was first to report that GameStop Corp is looking for a new chief executive to replace George Sherman as it pivots from a brick-and-mortar video game retailer to an e-commerce firm. It would be the biggest shakeup at GameStop since Ryan Cohen, the co-founder and former chief executive of online pet food company Chewy Inc, joined its board in January and began laying the groundwork for a shift in culture and strategy. Its stock is up almost 4,000% from a year ago, after it became the poster child of day traders betting on so-called meme stocks.
