Doug Bowser (born August 28, 1965)[1] is an American businessman and the current Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Nintendo of America,[2][3] formerly working for Electronic Arts and Procter & Gamble.
In February 2019, it was announced that he would be replacing the outgoing Reggie Fils-Aimé as the president and chief operating officer of Nintendo of America in April.[3] The announcement was met with humorous reaction online, stemming from the fact that Bowser's surname is also shared by the main antagonist of the Mario franchise, Bowser, with BBC referring the news as "one of the most charming cases of nominative determinism ever".[4][5][6]
