Majesco Entertainment Names Jesse Sutton Chief Executive Officer
Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ:COOL), an innovative provider of
video games for the mass market, appointed Jesse Sutton as its chief
executive officer and Allan Grafman as its non-executive chairman of the
board.
"As CEO, I will continue to guide Majesco into
its next phase of growth by exploring new avenues in the digital
entertainment market,” said Jesse. "Most
recently, we launched Majesco Studios, which enables us to leverage our
technical and design expertise to specifically focus on products and
titles targeting the casual gamer. We're excited about the opportunities
that will result from this initiative and believe this move furthers our
ability to build the same or better product as we do externally with
similar or reduced costs. In addition, we are fortunate to announce that
Allan Grafman has assumed the role of non-executive chairman of the
board. His extensive knowledge of mass market entertainment franchises
and the growing interactive media space will help guide the execution of
the company’s strategic goals.” "The board wants to thank Jesse for his
strategic leadership and direction over the past 16 months,”
said Grafman. "In addition to driving the mass
market strategy, Jesse has led expense reductions, financings and
multiple new title releases. We are confident in his ability to
aggressively build our business as he focuses on expanding the company’s
distribution channels and creating partnerships to increase sales.”

CEO and a member of the board of directors since August 2006 and as
president from 1996 to 2006. He has been involved in overseeing all
aspects of the company's operations and has been a key architect of the

Partners since 2005. Previously, Grafman served as President of Archie
