As of 1st September 2024, Nintendo of Europe’s restructured leadership team includes:

  • Tom Enoki, Senior Managing Director, Corporate Planning Office. Mr Enoki joined the senior management team of Nintendo of Europe in 2022.

Furthermore, Frank Rittinghaus has been appointed to lead Nintendo of Europe’s Marketing, Communications, and Direct-to-Consumer Business. Frédéric Michaux succeeds Mr Rittinghaus in his former position as General Manager of Nintendo Benelux.

“On behalf of the entire company, I extend my sincere thanks to Stephan Bole for his outstanding leadership and many years dedicated to Nintendo,” said new Nintendo of Europe President Luciano Pereña. “I am honoured to continue Nintendo’s purpose of putting smiles on faces, and I am confident that this leadership group and united European team will allow us to build on our company’s legacy of delivering unique experiences.”

Nintendo recently completed the reorganisation of all its European entities into one organisation, Nintendo of Europe SE, with all local offices remaining open.
