Former Gearbox VP joins Nintendo to lead developer and publisher relations

<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="http://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/former-gearbox-vp-joins-nintendo-to-lead-developer-and-publisher-relations.jpg" width="200" height="200" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>Former Gearbox vice president John Vignocchi has <a href="https://twitter.com/JohnVignocchi/status/1134217848635609088">joined Nintendo of America</a> to take charge of the company’s developer and publisher relations team.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Vignocchi spent just seven months at Gearbox, having joined the<em> Borderlands</em> developer as an executive producer back in October 2018 to work on a new franchise.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Prior to that, he worked at Disney Interactive studios for seven years, starting out as a development director before being named vice president of production in 2012.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In his new role at Nintendo, Vignocchi explained he’ll be driving developer and publisher relations across North America, and will be serving under the newly appointed Doug Bowser — who <a href="https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/337218/Nintendo_of_America_head_Reggie_FilsAime_retires_Bowser_taking_over.php">replaced Reggie Fils-Amie as Nintendo of America president back in April</a>.</p>
<p>“I plan to help continue the tradition of building memories through Nintendo that will last a lifetime. I certainly have a lifetime of them already and can’t wait to make more,” said Vignocchi. “I’m humbled by this dream opportunity and will work tirelessly to bring you the best that I can.”</p>
