News in the gaming industry is that Nintendo of America recently hired two new executive officers for their Redwood City, CA offices. Stepping into the President of Marketing and Corporate Affairs position is former Reebok employee Denise Kaigler. Former Whirlpool financial director Bill Van Zyll arrives as the new Director and General Manager of Latin America.
