Best Buy Chief Marketing Officer Leaves

NEW YORK (AP) -- Another executive at Best Buy has left the company.

Best Buy says former chief marketing officer Barry Judge is no longer with the Minneapolis company. It says he left to "explore the next chapter in his career" but did not offer more specifics.

The news comes weeks after Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn abruptly resigned after the embattled consumer electronics chain launched an internal investigation into his "personal conduct." Best Buy has convened a search committee to find his replacement.

Judge joined Best Buy in 1999 as a member of the company's e-commerce team and was named chief marketing officer in 2008.

Best Buy shares fell 19 cents to $21.91 during midday trading.
