THQ gets new CFO (also: acronym two-for-one sale ongoing)

THQ has
hired industry newbie Colin Slade to fill the roll of Chief Financial Officer at the company following last year's abrupt departure of Edward Zinser. At the time, THQ made sure to say that Zinser's departure was a "
mutual agreement between Mr. Zinser and the company" and had nothing to do with any
financial issues.
THQ has recently been on a kick to change its
license-heavy image with
new IPs and some
ironically filled executive positions. Slade should be fine handling THQ's finances, as he formerly worked at
Tektronix, Inc., a company with $1 billion in revenue. Despite THQ's apparent change, we still expect plenty of standard license-holding cash-in games like
SpongeBob SquarePants: Underpants Slam! this year.
