VP vacates position after slightly less than two years on the job.

Denise Kaigler, Nintendo's vice president of Marketing and Corporate Affairs, has announced that she is leaving the company. Her last day was Friday, November 20.

Denise replaced Nintendo of America icon Perrin Kaplan in January 2008, following a 16-year stint at Reebok. She cites personal reasons for her departure, and certainly the fact that she lives in New England while Nintendo's offices are in the San Francisco Bay area played a role in her decision.

Speaking to Kotaku, NOA's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing Cammie Dunaway said, "Denise Kaigler has been a valuable part of the Nintendo of America team for the last two years. She's made a personal decision to spend more time with her family in New England. We wish her all the best in this next chapter of her life, and we look forward to continuing to deliver great Nintendo experiences to people of all ages as we head into this holiday season".

No replacement for Kaigler has been announced.

Jon Lindemann, Director
