Coinstar announces CFO's departure after only 3 mos.

September 7, 2009

Coinstar Inc. has announced that chief financial officer John Harvey is leaving the company after only three months in the position.

In a news release, Coinstar says Harvey came to the decision for personal reasons and will remain with the company as it searches for a new CFO:

John Harvey has decided to leave the company because of the extensive time his position required for him to spend away from his family. Harvey, appointed CFO in June 2009, has been commuting between Bellevue, Wash., and Chicago on a weekly basis. The company will begin a search immediately to replace Harvey, who has committed to assist the company with transition matters, including continuing as CFO through the reporting of third quarter financial results in November.

Harvey says in the release that he will seek opportunities in the Chicago area.
