Nintendo UK boss Simon Kemp leaving the company
Simon Kemp, general manager for Nintendo UK, is department from the company. MCV received word that he’s leaving ‘to pursue opportunities for a change of career outside Nintendo.’
Nintendo said in a statement:
“Simon has performed the role of general manager of Nintendo UK since November 2012. Nintendo would like to take this opportunity to thank Simon for his services to Nintendo UK and to wish him every success in his choice of new career.”
Kemp became Nintendo UK’s boss after replacing David Yarnton in 2012. For the moment, Stephan Bole will take over his role, who is senior managing director for European subsidiaries. Nintendo is now looking into a permanent replacement for Kemp.
