Bowser also will manage Nintendoâs key retail customer relationships and will oversee retail marketing for the Nintendo World store in New York.
Bowser will report to Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of Americaâs Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing.

Bowser comes to Nintendo from Electronic Arts, where he has worked since 2007, most recently as Vice President of Global Business Planning, a role that made him responsible for EAâs console, PC and mobile game forecasting.
