Ryan Cohen, the GameStop Corp. activist investor who became its chairman on Wednesday, said he isn’t going to unveil a new strategy yet. But he gave some hints during a talk at the retailer’s annual meeting.

“We are trying to do something that nobody in the retail space has ever done,” Cohen said at the gathering, held in GameStop’s hometown of Grapevine, Texas. “But we believe we’re putting the right pieces in place and we have clear goals: delighting customers and driving shareholder value for the long term.”
