RadioShack has hired former Treasury Department adviser Harry J. Wilson to help with its turnaround efforts, the Associated Press reported yesterday. The struggling consumer electronics retailer said yesterday that Wilson will serve as chief revitalization officer, reporting to its board and CEO Joe Magnacca. Wilson is the founder and CEO of The Maeva Group. He previously served as a senior adviser in the Treasury Department and was a senior member of the Auto Task Force, which was responsible for the Treasury’s role in the restructuring of General Motors and Chrysler. RadioShack warned in September that it might need to file for chapter 11 protection as it struggles to compete with online retailers.
