The big news of the day was the corporate shakeup that saw Ryan Cohen take over as Chairman of the Board. Cohen also announced that Matt Furlong would be the new CEO and Mike Recupero as the new CFO. Both were previous executives from Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), a sign that GameStop is pushing forward with its transformation into an eCommerce platform. Unfortunately, Cohen gave no details about the strategy for the ongoing transformation of the company, leaving investors in the dark about what lies ahead.
