Right Stuf COO Christine Morgan Leaves Right Stuf/Crunchyroll

ANN reached out to Crunchyroll for comment, but Crunchyroll declined to comment.
Former Right Stuf president and co-founder Shawne Kleckner also left the company on December 14 last year. Crunchyroll announced in August 2022 that it has acquired Right Stuf to expand its eCommerce service. Kleckner and the Right Stuf team then joined Crunchyroll's Emerging Businesses organization, led by Terry Li.
Kleckner's friend Todd Ferson launched Right Stuf initially as a shell company to purchase telescopes at wholesale prices. (At that point, the company's name was still spelled as "The Right Stuff," a reference to the film of the same name.) Ferson and Kleckner then renamed the company to Right Stuf in 1987, after the company acquired its first anime license Astro Boy.
