Nintendo hires two new execs

Nintendo has welcomed with open arms a pair of new executives to head up positions at the company's new offices in Redwood City. The first new employee is Denise Kaigler, who will serve as vice president of Marketing & Corporate Affairs and take over for Perrin Kaplan. Kaigler will handle corporate communications, public relations, government affairs, investor and analyst relations, and internal communications for Nintendo of America. She will also have her hands in on the global coordination of the company.

The other new addition to the team is Bill Van Zyll. Zyll will be the new director and general manager of Latin America. Zyll comes from a 15 year stint at the Whirlpool Corporation, where he handled a variety of duties and even got some experience working in Latin America. This will no doubt help him transition into his new position at Nintendo.
