Today Nintendo of America has hired a new Vice President of sales. No, it’s not King Koopa himself, but rather a man named Doug Bowser who will be taking over the office.

The position helps oversee sales in the region, in-store merchandising, retail strategy, and retail marketing. Basically, Doug Bowser is now the boss of how Nintendo advertises itself in the North American region. He reports directly to Scott Moffitt, who is the Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing.

Before moving over to Nintendo, Bowser previously worked at Electronic Arts as Vice President of Global Business Planning, a similar role within that company. Bowser was with Electronic Arts since 2007 and before that, he worked at Procter & Gamble.

Here’s what Bowser’s new boss has to say about him:

Doug Bowser is an outstanding addition to our Nintendo team, as he brings a deep blend of both consumer package goods and video game sales experience. I know he will work tirelessly with our internal and external partners to ensure the broad Nintendo product lineup of hardware, software and accessories are strongly represented throughout U.S. retail points of distribution.
