CNN
GameStop is adding to its growing list of new executives hired from Amazon and Chewy with the hope of turning the struggling, longtime mall staple into an e-commerce powerhouse.
The video game retailer on Tuesday announced the hire of Elliott Wilke as its chief growth officer. Wilke spent the past seven years at Amazon, including as director of Amazon (AMZN) Fresh stores and the Prime Pantry business, and also previously worked for consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble. Wilke will start at GameStop on April 5 and be responsible for customer loyalty programs and expanding the use of consumer insights and metrics. The company also appointed two former executives from online pet store Chewy as vice presidents of brand development and merchandising.
