(Reuters) – GameStop Corp. is looking for a new CEO to replace George Sherman, as it is a video game retailer and an e-commerce company, three people familiar with the matter said Monday.

It would be the biggest stir at GameStop since Ryan Cohen, co-founder and former CEO of online pet food company Chewy Inc, joined the board in January.

GameStop’s board is working with a chief executive hunter on the chief executive’s search, sources said, requesting anonymity because the case is confidential.

A GameStop spokesman declined to comment.
