Before that he was the VP of SoBe Beverage Co. at PepsiCo, spearheading the launches of Mountain Dew Code Red and AMP Energy Drink brands. He was also director of product innovation at PepsiCo, watching over development of brands such as Sierra Mist, Mountain Dew and Aquafina.

His expertise in driving growth will be a terrific asset as we build momentum for the Nintendo 3DS system and continue to reach new audiences for the Wii console." Moffitt noted, "Nintendo is a brand unlike any other. I look forward to helping shape the company’s future for all kinds of players."
