Denise Kaigler is best known from her position as Vice President of Corporate Affairs for Nintendo of America. Or at least she was until yesterday. During a written Q&A segment on IGN’s website, Kaigler took the opportunity to tell readers that she was leaving the company, effective immediately.

“It’s a fact of life that job and family often pull us in opposite directions,” said Kaigler. “It has been a fantastic adventure, but the time has come where I need to choose one over the other … and I have to choose my family.”

Denise was often seen as several high profile Nintendo events, including the Wii Sports Resort launch in Times Square. Kaigler started the position in February 2008.
