Redbox operator Outerwall's CEO steps down

(Reuters) - Redbox video rental kiosk operator Outerwall Inc's Chief Executive J. Scott Di Valerio has stepped down, less than two years at the company's helm.

Di Valerio, who joined Outerwall in 2010 as chief financial officer, has also resigned from the company's board.

Outerwall also estimated revenue of $598 million-$602 million for the fourth quarter. Analysts on average had expected $596.3 million, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

Outerwall had earlier forecast revenue of $575 million-$605 million for the quarter.
