All the turmoil at mobile games and content publisher HandsOn has taken a new and perhaps final turn: CEO Jonathan Sacks and president John Rousseau have been pushed out, after being lame duck for a while. As we mentioned back in March, COO Lynn Crawford is now running the show. Sacks will continue to be on the board.

The company is looking for a new CEO. Sacks joined the mobile gaming firm (then known as Mforma) two years ago, with the intention of integration its various acquisitions and then head to an IPO. The company had to scale back on its initial ambitions, after some of its many acquisitions went south, and integration and management issues dogged them, besides the macro mobile content market issues. For more on the company, read our dedicated company section here.
