Confirmed: Beth Llewelyn is leaving Nintendo of America

 

It’s been a while since we last heard about Nintendo of America‘s big move from Redmond and how it’s affecting the company’s staff. Now we get an update on Beth Llewelyn, Nintendo’s corporate communications director, and how she’s ending her 12-year tenure as one of Big N’s key players for something dearer and closer to her.

Yes, after months of oft-whispered rumors, Beth Llewelyn has finally confirmed them. Her statement about this entire matter, unedited and presented as is:

After nearly 12 years with Nintendo, I will be leaving the company at the end of this week. I am not relocating to the Bay Area with the company. It was a very tough decision, but ultimately my family and I decided it wasn’t the right move for us. My last day at Nintendo is Friday, Sept. 28.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Nintendo and working with all of you. I’ve helped launched many products over the years, but I think what we’ve done in the last few years has been the most exciting. It is an amazing time in the industry right now and there is so much more to come from Nintendo.

It’s quite sad to see such a well-loved member of Nintendo’s family go, along with Julia Roether, another PR head for Nintendo through external firm Golin Harris. Still, as we all know, private life and family comes first – and Llewelyn has certainly done her share for Nintendo, having served the company for almost 12 years. We here at QJ.NET wish her the best of luck in all her future endeavors.
