Rumor: Former Yahoo! big wig headed to Nintendo?

Since it’s Friday, and there really is very little real news, today has been all about the rumors and speculation. This story is no different, as Valleywag (think Kotaku for techies) speculates that Cammie Dunaway may be headed to Nintendo.

Who is Cammie Dunaway, you ask? …that’s a good question. I had no idea, so I asked Mr. Griswold Oogle, and he told me that she was the former Marketing Chief at Yahoo. You know Yahoo, they’re the bad search engine/bad e-mail/bad IM service. Either way,s he recently departed the company and has moved to a place that she describes as “a natural fit for someone who loves driving profitable revenue for big, well-loved consumer brands and can’t pass up the opporitunity to be the coolest Mom in the universe.”

Keep in mind that Nintendo has lost just about everyone due to their relocation to San Francisco, including two big wigs in marketing, and another in PR. San Francisco? Job openings? “Big, well-loved consumer brands”? All signs point towards yes, but until this is confirmed by Nintendo, this shall remain a rumor.

…a thick, juicy rumor covered in A1 steak sauce, but a rumor. Damn, I’m hungry.
