Cyberian seeks CEO, Darryl Peck to remain chairman KENT, Conn., May 3 (Reuters) - Online computer store Cyberian Outpost Inc. said Monday Darryl Peck, its founder, chief executive and president would step aside soon as a replacement was found, and would assume the post of chairman. "After we find somebody, I will become chairman," Peck said in a telephone interview. "We're looking to find someone terrific, and we're going to do it fairly quickly. This is not going to drag on for six months." Peck, who said he has read the business section of the newspaper and studied companies since he was seven years old has seen a pattern of entrepreneurs remaining at the helm for too long. "We're looking to expand into other products, and we are going to be a big bsusiness," he said. "We want to acquire other companies, and I want a seasoned CEO to sit along side me." Peck said Outpost.com, which sells computers, software and accessories, is looking to expand through acquisitions, but declined to comment on what kinds of companies would be of interest. Peck said he wanted to diversify, but not in the style of Amazon.com <AMZN.O>, a company that seems to be expanding into every direction. As for his own decision to become chairman one a new chief executive and president were found, he said "A lot of people can be a better day-to-day manager than me. This was my decision. What I do best is speak for the company. Cyberian's directors formed a special search committee and have hired an executive recruitment firm. 859-1700))
