Reggie Fils-Aime stepped down as the president of Nintendo of America and Doug Bowser filled the role, that never meant Reggie was out of sight out of mind.
Reggie will always in one way or another be linked to gaming. Whether that is appearances at The Game Awards, took part in a podcast for charity, or even joining the board of directors for GameStop.
Leaving GameStop
Well, a year after he first joined the board of directors for GameStop, it has been announced that Reggie is leaving GameStop.
It’ll be effective this June, in time for GameStop’s 2021 Annual Meeting. Bill Simon and J.K Symancyk, who joined GameStop’s board of directors at the same time that Reggie did, are also stepping down with him.
All three joined in March 2020 ahead of another wave of retiring board members set for June. According to the filing, the GameStop board has “not determined the definitive slate of nominees for election” when it comes to replacement candidates.
Gamestop noted
Turnover among our Board may disrupt our operations, our strategic focus or our ability to drive stockholder value. If we fail to attract and retain new skilled personnel for our Board, our business and growth prospects could disrupt our operations and have a material adverse effect on our operations and business.
And losing a veteran like Reggie … well it says a lot.
