B&N gets new CEO

The largest U.S. bookstore chain said on Thursday that it had hired Sears Canada CEO Ron Boire to be its new chief executive starting September 8, touting his “extensive experience” in launching electronics products in his career, which included earlier senior jobs at Best Buy ( BBY 0.09% ) and Sony Electronics.

Boire—who has only been CEO of the faltering Sears Canada department store chain for 10 months (and the retailer’s third boss in just two years), following a nearly three-year stint as chief merchant of the struggling Sears and Kmart chains in the U.S—will have his hands full trying to revive Barnes & Noble’s Nook business.
More at the source.

He could hardly do worse than his predecessors, now could he?
