The hiring of Chewy founder Ryan Cohen as e-commerce lead sends GameStop (GME) stocks rising again.
GameStop (GME) continues to be an unpredictable stock, as its value has repeatedly skyrocketed following the short squeeze that took place earlier this year. Now, GameStop (GME) is on the rise once again following the news that the gaming retailer has hired Ryan Cohen, the cofounder of Chewy, as its e-commerce lead.
On Monday, March 8, GameStop announced that it would be selecting Chewy cofounder Ryan Cohen to lead its e-commerce efforts. Cohen will serve as Chairman of a new committee formed by GameStop’s board, as reported by NBC. This is far from the beginning of Cohen’s history with GameStop, as he invested into the retailer back in 2020.
