Take-Two Chief Financial Officer resigns; interim CFO announced
Heads up, happy people; more corporate-talk today, concerning one of our most loved (loved to hate by some…) game developer/publisher in the industry. In light of their on-going management shuffling and scuffling, Take-Two Interactive has just announced that their (now ex-) Chief Financial Officer Karl Winters has opted to resign from the company.
To fill in for Karl Winters in the meantime, Take-Two has announced a temporary CFO: Lainie Goldstein. She was previously the second man (second woman, to be exact) next to Winters, as the company’s Senior VP of Finance. She’ll act as interim CFO while a more permanent one is still to be decided. Never heard of her?
Well, she’s been working for the company since 2003, and she’s got quite a résumé under her belt The Press Release from Take-Two introduces us to Ms. Goldstein who is…
a CPA with over 15 years of financial and business experience in the software, entertainment, retail and apparel industries, including more than 8 years overseeing the finance function of publicly traded companies…
She previous held positions at Nautica Enterprises and Grant Thornton, with a BS degree in Accounting from AU Washington. If that’s not enough to give her some credit, Take-Two CEO Ben Feder is optimistic of Goldstein’s contribution to the company and talks of Winters’ resignation:
Karl oversaw finance at Take-Two during challenging times for the Company. We thank Karl for his years of service to Take-Two. He was instrumental in assembling a highly competent financial team that will serve us well in the future. We appreciate Karl’s hard work and his continued support during the transition.
We have been welcomed by the extremely talented and hard working Take-Two corporate staff. We are impressed with Lainie and are confident that her financial acumen and knowledge of Take-Two’s business will greatly assist us during this transition. I look forward to working closely with Lainie as we continue to address Take-Two’s challenges aggressively and swiftly so that employees can focus on building the Company’s bright future.
