Jenna Owens, Chief Operating Officer, at GameStop (Grapevine, Texas) will leave the company just seven months after joining, according to CNBC. GameStop did not specify why Owens was leaving; a regulatory filing states that both parties had entered into a separation agreement that went into effect Oct. 25.
