Nintendo PR Director Confirms Departure

5
Nintendo corporate communications director Beth Llewelyn confirmed her long-rumored departure from the Redmond-headquartered game giant today in an e-mail sent to the media. Her announcement follows the confirmation by senior marketing VP George Harrison of his forthcoming departure from the company in the transition of its sales and marketing team to the Bay Area and New York.

"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Nintendo and working with all of you. I've helped launched many products over the years, but I think what we've done in the last few years has been the most exciting," Llewelyn said in the e-mail. "It is an amazing time in the industry right now and there is so much more to come from Nintendo."

The last day of Llewelyn's nearly 12-year tenure with Nintendo will be Friday, she said in message. Llewelyn chose not to relocate with the company because of her family, which she hopes to spend more time with upon her resignation.

With both Harrison confirming his departure at the end of December and Llewelyn leaving in two days, only marketing VP Perrin Kaplan has yet to announce her leave of the company prior to the Seattle exodus. Like the other two execs, the opening for Kaplan's position has been posted on Nintendo's career site for several months, legitimizing rumors of her departure.

    It's good to leave on top. Your notes are worth more.
