The current sales and marketing exec is leaving in October.

Cammie Dunaway, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Nintendo of America, will be leaving the company for a new role on October 1. The new position will be outside of the games industry, but specific details were not given.

"We appreciate Cammie’s contributions to Nintendo and the role she played in bringing the Wii and Nintendo DS experiences to millions of people," said Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America president and chief operating officer.

Dunaway joined Nintendo three years ago to replace Fils-Aime after he was promoted to his current role. She is known for her enthusiasm and sunny demeanor from her presentation of Nintendo's E3 press conferences.

Good, now Nintendo can bring in someone sexier... Marketing, indeed!

I hope she's happy with her new job, I think it's pretty sad that she got so much hate for just doing her job.  Good luck Cammie!

I never saw any hate, just a lot of people making jokes about her (like the obviously fake story about snowboarding when talking with Shaun White). I wish her good luck in whatever her next job is.

Wherever she goes, I'm sure she'll keep putting More Smiles on More Faces™.

I wish her the best of luck in her next position.  :D

But on another note, will Jon make his Cammie voice in the next RFN as a send-off to her?

No one put more smiles on more faces like Cammie Dunaway, best known as the only reason anyone remembers that Shaun White Snowboarding exists.

I certainly wish her the best, though I will confess to updating my resume right now.

Former Nintendo executive Cammie Dunaway will lead the U.S. operations of KidZania  as it creates “kid-sized cities” for children in shopping malls. KidZania is creating places for kids to learn about real-life jobs and entertain themselves in mini cities within shopping malls.

She left Nintendo for that? I hope she's successful anyway.

The article left out the part where she will be issued a hunting rifle and full legal immunity in the case of a child-uprising.

Things changed after that snowboarding accident, she can't even look a snowman in the face without succumbing to the bloodlust.
