Intellivision Entertainment's chief revenue officer Phil Adam has been appointed as CEO.
Former CEO -- and founder of the company -- Tommy Tallarico is stepping down but remaining as board member and president, GamesBeat reported.
In a statement to the publication, Tallarico said he will still be involved in making decisions alongside Adam.
"We make decisions together," he said. "But he can make executive decisions without me. And I trust him 100%."
Adam has been at Intellivision since 2018, initially as SVP of global business development and sales. A games industry veteran, he was the founder and president of Spectrum HoloByte in the '80s, and worked for 15 years at Interplay, among others.
Intellivision has been working on retro console Amico for the past few years, announcing it in October 2018. It's since then been delayed several times -- originally due in October 2020, it was then delayed to April 2021, then Fall 2021, until Intellivision promised it by the end of 2021.
The console is still not out, with Tallarico saying Intellivision has had issues with component shortages.
