No company can stop employee turnover (especially when it bifurcates its US operations and expects everyone to uproot their families just to be closer to press it'd really rather ignore), but at least Nintendo's got a game plan to start bandage its wounds from executives lost in the rapid-fire departure of Harrison, Llewelyn, and Kaplan. Next up to bat: the company's new EVP of sales and marketing, Cammie Dunaway, and EVP, special assignment, Shigeyuki Takahashi. (Seriously, that's his job title, not the name of the next Phoenix Wright game.) They'll get going on November 5th and 1st, respectively, with Dunaway hard charging to get consoles and games into the hands of the Nintendo-uninitiated, and Takahashi conducting "special research activities and providing perspective to the sales and marketing department" (read: playing Xbox all day).
I hope she make good video games.
I dig chicks with glasses. She's a friggin hotty.
She would so rock my world!
I'd hit that.

Yeah, me too. She looks more feminine than Kaplan.
good use of "bifurcate."
-p-
i wish i got payed to play xbox all day.
You will not be enjoying playing xbox (or even better, Wii) for a company -working at a similar position as these guys do- when your head is on the line like them. They want results and they want it "yesterday"
Cammie Dunaway...ahhh that's where the former Yahoo! Chief Marketing Officer went to. Good move considering Yahoo's current status.
"...just to be closer to press it'd really rather ignore"
WTF does that mean... specifically "it'd"
First time I read that, I didn't read "ditchy"
LOL. I´m sure the old ones "ditched" a lot when the were told to move or resign their positions.
