I think she was a placeholder anyways, wasn't she? At any rate, GME does have a lot of C-level turnover relative to other companies I interact with at that level.
I think she was just in temporarily until GME decided who to slot in as the full time CFO. Looks like they picked a guy who's been there for a couple years already doing tax stuff.
Yeah, looks like she's been hopping between roles for a couple of years.
Diana Saadeh-Jajeh is the Chief Financial Officer of GameStop. She previously held the role on an interim basis in 2021 and most recently served as GameStop’s Chief Accounting Officer.
Just to add a quick note to this. There's almost nobody who's going to work as hard as RC. There's almost nobody who's going to WANT to work that hard. People like him -- he's got the same drive as every other billionaire. Accumulate more and more while trying to force others to see his "vision" This is not shitting on the guy at all, but when I saw Furlong's comp package when they hired him, I was like, "ai yi yi". See, RC already built a startup. He went through the pain and misery of having to find funding and VC money. He did earn his billions pretty honestly relative to a lot of the scheissters out there. Nobody coming on as CEO is going to have that same perspective. Furlong was a company man, and again, that's fine. The guy relocates across the world for a salary less than some of us here make, and they load him heavy with options on a stock that continued to trend down for the entirety of his stay there. If I was Furlong, I'd have felt grifted and been pissed. Check out the sales subreddit. This happens to people constantly in the startup and SAAS world. You're sold some VC's dream, and it doesn't do shit after 5 years and the company folds.
The great "vision" or whatever RC has, you're not going to find people willing to work for essentially free on your hopes and dreams. Outside of the board, nobody at that company can just faff about and afford to put their entire lives into that vision. If you want people to WORK, you compensate them properly. You hire people aligned with your strategy and you give them money. Stock is fine too, but sideways trading shares don't pay mortgages or medical bills. ___
Yeah this is a fair point and I have often wondered what it must be like working directly under RC.
You definitely need to be someone in a grind and build mindset.
I currently work under a boss that has an insane work ethic, if I'm putting in 50-60 hrs in a given week, he is easily doing 70-90.
On one hand it's motivating and inspiring to get through a push on a project and it's nice to not have to worry that you are busting ass while your boss is sitting on theirs. On the other hand, it's tiring when the pace doesn't change or abate ever. It's like dude...chill, we aren't making any more for killing ourselves.
Anyone in RC's C-suite is going to have to be a very specific type of person and will need to buy into his vision to stick around long term.
