Nintendo of Europe SE is pleased to announce a restructuring of its management team, with Luciano Pereña taking on the roles of CEO, President and Chairman of the Management Board. This change comes as the company bids a fond farewell to Mr. Stephan Bole, who has decided to leave the company and end his career after more than 35 years with Nintendo, including the last six years as President of Nintendo in Europe.
As of September 1, 2024, Nintendo of Europe’s management team will be reorganized as follows::
- Luciano Pereña, Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Management Board. Mr. Pereña joined Nintendo in February 1994, most recently serving as Chief Financial Officer of Nintendo Europe since 2018.
- Laurent Fischer, Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Fischer joined Nintendo France’s marketing team in 1998, serving as Managing Director of Nintendo of Europe from 2006 to 2015 and most recently as Chief Marketing Officer since 2018.
- Tom Enoki, Senior Managing Director, Corporate Planning Office. Mr. Enoki joined the management of Nintendo of Europe in 2022.
In addition, Frank Rittinghaus has been appointed Nintendo of Europe’s Marketing, Communications, and Direct-to-Consumer Business. Frédéric Michaux succeeds Mr. Rittinghaus in his previous role as Managing Director of Nintendo Benelux.
“On behalf of the entire company, I extend my sincere thanks to Stephan Bole for his excellent leadership and many years of dedication to Nintendo,” said new Nintendo of Europe President Luciano Pereña. “It is an honour to continue Nintendo’s purpose of putting smiles on people’s faces. I am confident that this united European management group and team will allow us to build on our company’s legacy of delivering unique experiences.”
Nintendo recently completed the reorganization of all its European entities into a single organization, Nintendo of Europe SE, while keeping all local branches open.
