A lot has changed at Acclaim of late and the news that Gregory Fischbach is stepping down as CEO arguably comes as little surprise.
Fischbach's resignation, which ends his role at the firm since it was founded in 1987, sees him make way for Rod Cousens, who will take the CEO reigns.
"During the last five months, I have driven the process for our organization to adopt and implement a new global operating plan that is heavily focused on improving our core business practices, including reducing operating expenses, realigning our brand-driven product development strategy and managing our position at retail," said Cousens.
"While this is an ongoing process, I believe that we have completed the foundation-building first phase that has set the stage for how we will conduct our business on a daily basis going forward. I will continue to strengthen our management team with leaders that are dedicated to this new structure, who possess the singular end-goal of facilitating our future growth and returning the organization to profitability."
