Midway Boss Resigns, Board Makes Booty Call
Midway is in some serious trouble. First their VP, CFO, and Treasurer Thomas Powell resigns along with Senior Marketing VP Steve Allison back in January, and now their CEO David F. Zucker is jumping ship, leaving the board scrambling to find a new leader to help guide them out of the hole they've been digging. In the meantime, Senior Vice President of Midway Worldwide Studies David Booty will step in as interim CEO."I am excited to have the opportunity to lead our game teams and talented associates as we roll out our 2008 releases," said Matt Booty.
