GameStop’s new CEO resigns for ‘personal reasons’

GameStop has a new interim chief executive officer. No, a different new one. Daniel DeMatteo has stepped up into that role after Michael Mauler resigned from that position after the board appointed him only three months ago. Mauler is leaving for unspecified “personal reasons.”

Mauler took over as CEO in February from DeMatteo, who was acting as interim CEO at that point as well. Former and longtime chief executive J. Paul Raines had taken leave for health reasons throughout 2017. GameStop’s board appointed Mauler after Raines made it clear that he would not return to the world’s largest gaming-focused retailer. Raines died in March.
