Sources at Nintendo have told IGN that executive VP of sales and marketing Scott Mofitt will leave the company later this summer.

The split between Moffitt and Nintendo was described by sources as "amicable." Moffit will remain with company until an unspecified date later this summer. Nintendo has decided to permanently dissolve the position of executive VP of sales and marketing. The responsibilities of this role will be split among members of the company's existing staff.

Moffitt joined Nintendo in 2011 after a five year run at Henkel Consumer Goods, where he served as a senior vice-president and oversaw personal care brands like Dial, Right Guard, and Tone. Moffitt's extensive experience in marketing includes a seven year stint at PepsiCo.

Nintendo’s executive VP of sales and marketing position was previously held Peter Main, who retired in 2001, and later by current NoA president and COO Reggie Fils-Aime in 2003. Cammie Dunway filled the role until she left the company in 2010.
