Although Reggie Fils-Aimé stepped down from his role as Nintendo of America's president last April, it doesn't seem like he will be slowing down anytime soon.
Following on from the news the former NoA president would be joining Rogue Games as a stategic advisor, he's now signed on with the board of directors at Brunswick Corporation - a "world-class leader in the marine industry".
Here's what Brunswick had to say about the news, along with a tweet from Reggie talking about his love for the sea:
“We are excited to welcome Reggie to Brunswick’s board of directors. As a highly respected and seasoned executive, Reggie’s experience in consumer-facing initiatives and digital technology will make him a valued addition to our strong and experienced board of directors. We look forward to benefiting from Reggie’s expertise as we continue to develop deeper relationships with our customers."

I'm glad that Reggie is enjoying his life now.
With that being said...
HOW MANY JOBS DOES THIS MAN HAVE!?
I think Brunswick owns Lund aluminum boats as well. I knew I liked this guy.
Something tells me that Reggie is the kind of guy who isn't content to stay at home in "retirement" and play Nintendo games in comfort for the rest of his life. He likes being busy, which means kicking butt and taking names.
What a guy. He's definitely a stronger man than me.
omg I love this picture of Reggie driving a boat so much.
Reggie Fils-Aime, his body is ready for World Board of Direction.
This guy directs
I swear this guy has about 5 or 6 jobs right now everyone wants a piece of him.
How does he juggle all of those jobs? Does he not have to research and look at data before making decisions for all of those companies?
How does this guy keep getting articles written about him on here when he no longer works for Nintendo? I certainly never see many stories about his successor.
How the hell can this guy hold 3 jobs?? This can't be good for all these companies spreading himself so thin.
Being on the board of directors isn't a job. They very rarely meet.
I appreciate Reggie, but always found him dry. Good for him though.
...I'm glad to know that I'm not the only person confused about how many jobs this guy has...lol
Reggie's brain can hold up to 7 jobs!!! 😂
@HotGoomba Das life
@nessisonett If only Nintendo would direct a Nintendo Direct, am I right?! 😂
He's really going for that... Blue ocean strategy.
I'll show myself out.
@Joeynator3000 @Diddy64 @HotGoomba
He's a Director on several boards. While being a Director has important responsibilities and does involve some work, it's not a full time job. It's fairly common for executives with his level of experience sit on several boards (sometimes in addition to having a full time CEO job).
@Creature @Kalteas
Being on a board of directors definitely isn't a full time job, but it's also not zero work. Being a director involves making big decisions for a business and also carries a fiduciary responsibility.
To the people asking how he has this many jobs, his body was ready (eyes fill up with happy tears reminiscing the good old days)
And here I thought he we joining the bowling people.
"Retirement"......yeah....we believe that.....
Did he leave that sinking ship called Gamestop yet?
Huh looks like reggie is everything now COOL!
In 5 years he'll be joining the Board of Directors of Illuminati or something like that at this pace.
@Creature @RushDawg
I see. Thanks for telling some of us. Since my interest are in other topics, I know next to nothing about these jobs working hours. Not to mention I have never worked for a company.
I doubt he actually goes anything in these jobs. It's all status and stocks and *****
So many jobs and gripping the boat-- Truly a boss.
