Den nye ledelse i Nintendo of Europe udpeget - sig hej til Stephen Bole

I forbindelse med investor-mødet i april annoncerede Nintendo, at deres siddende præsident Kimishima trak sig for at overdrage stafetten til den noget yngre Furukawa, men det var ikke den eneste ændring, der fandt sted. Præsidenten for Nintendo of Europe, Shibata, fik sig nemlig også en forfremmelse og tog tilbage til Japan efter 18 års tro tjeneste i Europa. Hans erstatning er nu fundet, og det bliver den administrerende direktør bag Nintendo of France, Stephen Bole, som får æren af at lede Nintendo of Europe videre i sin rolle som præsident.

I forbindelse med magtskiftet udtaler Stephen Bole:
“To say that Mr Shibata’s contributions have been instrumental to Nintendo’s European operations is an understatement. His efforts over the past 18 years have helped to bring Nintendo products to generations of players across Europe – and beyond. While he will be missed by many, I have full confidence that with our new structure we’ll be able to continue our mission of putting smiles on people’s faces through our unique gaming experiences.”
Derudover bliver Koji Miyake administrerende direktør (CEO) for Nintendo of Europe. Det er ham, der sørger for at virksomheden kører ordentligt, mens Stephen Boles rolle er mere udadvendt.
Det er desuden i dag, at Furukawa officielt overtager nøglerne til Nintendo, og han har lavet følgende udtalelse, der er oversat fra japansk af ihærdige internetbrugere:
Greetings, I am Shuntaro Furukawa, who assumed the role of both president and representative director of Nintendo in June of 2018.
Here at Nintendo, our mission statement is to “increase the amount of people that experience our IPs.” It is my belief that with the more people that are touched by the characters and game philosophy we cultivate here, the more valuable the company will become.
At the same time, as an entertainment company, our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is to “bring smiles to everyone’s faces.” Through our products and services, our company seeks to expand that ring of smiling faces around the world – it’s our duty to society.
Through our CSR policy of “bringing smiles to everyone’s faces,” we’ll continue to challenge ourselves to constantly create new and unique surprises for all to enjoy.
Det bliver spændende at se, om det bibringer nogle ændringer til Nintendo of Europe, og om Stephen Bole vil varetage Nintendo Directs, som Shibata gjorde - og om han er lige så frisk på at gakke ud, som vi tidligere så Shibata gøre.
