Perrin Kaplan hasn't left Nintendo yet, but a recent job posting makes it seem like the end is nigh for her.
Nintendo has posted a job opening on employment website Taleo.net for the position of Vice President of Corparate Affairs. This position is currently occupied by Perrin Kaplan, who has been with Nintendo since 1992. The posting comes amid word of several of Nintendo of America's executive officers leaving the company due to the impending move of Nintendo's sales and marketing divisions being relocated to the San Francisco and New York areas.
Perrin Kaplan is still with Nintendo of America, and will likely be until this September, when the move will be complete. It's standard practice to find a replacement for someone before that someone leaves. If the rumors are true and more VPs are leaving Nintendo, wouldn't it make sense to start looking for their replacements as well?
