Electronics Retailer Names CEO

Via Varejo, the electronics retail unit of Grupo Pao de Acucar, has named Vitor Faga de Almeida as CEO, it says. He replaces Antonio Ramatis Rodrigues, who resigned last week after less than seven months on the job. Earlier this month, members of the Klein family, owners of 47% of Via Varejo, indicated they would sell about 16% of the company. Via Varejo runs the Casas Bahia and Ponto Frio stores.
