Following the sudden departure of Jim DeRose Jnr, president and chief executive officer of US-based video games manufacturer Global VR, the company has made two new appointments.

Company veteran Ken Bayer will now assume the leadership position while continuing his current role as executive vice president of operations.

In addition, Patrick Imeson, managing director of Global VR’s financial backer, Black Diamond Financial Group, will now assume the responsibility of chairman of the board.
