Intellivision appoints Phil Adam as CEO while Tommy Tallarico moves to president

Tommy Tallarico, founder of Intellivision Entertainment, has stepped down from the role of CEO, and former chief revenue officer Phil Adam has taken his place. Tallarico will remain on the board and serve as the company president.
