Wizard Entertainment announced the departure of Editor-In-Chief Pat McCallum on Thursday following months of high level staffing changes, including the exit of  Wizard Conventions Director/Strategic Planning and Marketing Stewart Morales and Manager of Business Development Gabe Fieramosco in August.

 

In March, Jim Silver was named Publisher and Rob Felton was promoted to VP and Associate Publisher (see 'Wizard Brings in a Publisher').  More recent staff changes include the addition of Marketing Director John Ko, General Manager Keith Patrick, General Manager for Dealer Relations Peter Katz, Programming Manager for Wizard Conventions Inc. Adam Dickstein, and Sales Account Executive Bart Sciarraba.

 

About Thursday's announcment, Wizard COO Fred Pierce said, 'In an effort to grow the company and evolve with our customers, Wizard has made a number of aggressive changes over the past nine months.'   Pierce continued, 'We have had a record year for both the publishing division and the Wizard World tours, and these staffing changes will ensure even greater success in 2007.'
