Satoru Shibata is now the Outside Director for The Pokemon Company
Those that live in European territories will be familiar with the name Satoru Shibata, the former president of Nintendo of Europe. Earlier this year, it was announced that he was stepping down from his long-held role at the company, and instead would be moving to a director's position, though it was not further elaborated until now. Shibata is currently an Outside Director for The Pokemon Company. Nintendo cites his outstanding overseas marketing and company management skills for this new job. He will be responsible for guiding decisions made by The Pokemon Company while also balancing that with being on the Nintendo Board of Directors.
It's still not known who will be taking over as the head of Nintendo of Europe, though this may be revealed at Nintendo's shareholders meeting on June 28.
