New duo arrive at Nintendo of America

Nintendo of America has confirmed the appointment of two new faces at its new Californian office.

Replacing former vice president of marketing and corporate affairs Perrin Kaplan will be Denise Kaigler (pictured), who joins following 16 years serving as Reebok’s head of global corporate communications and corporate citizenship. Kaigler has also worked for Adidas.

Also joining Nintendo is Bill Van Zyll, who becomes the new director and general manager of Latin America. Van Zyll has spent the last 15 years working for Whirlpool, and is a fluent speaker of English, Spanish and Dutch, and is apparently also pretty handy at Italian.

Nintendo of America’s executive VP of sales and marketing Cammie Dunaway stated: "Denise and Bill bring a wealth of branding and marketing experience to our team.”
