In December, Damon Baker who has been with Nintendo for over 12 years and ended as being the head of Nindies left his role at the company. Not only was Damon working on independent developers, but he was also working on getting third party content on the Nintendo Switch. Yesterday, it was announced that Damon has joined the Xbox team as the Head of Portfolio which means he will oversee 2nd/3rd party content and says he has been soaking up his knowledge the past month.
Hey all, overdue news to share. Been soaking up knowledge this last month as the new Head of Portfolio for #Xbox! Honored and excited to help evaluate all 2nd/3rd party content towards our strategy. Big thanks to @iocat @aarongreenberg @XboxP3 and team. The future looks amazing! pic.twitter.com/isqylqnBGk

Adding Damon to the Xbox team is definitely a great addition to the group when it comes to the company building relationships and partnerships with other companies and with all the new studios coming on board it will be interesting to see how things go in the future and we’ll most likely see a lot at this years E3 2019.
It looks like Aaron Greenberg is excited to work with the former Nintendo executive:
Incredibly excited to have @DWBakes joining the team here in a big role for Xbox. Could not think of a better person and someone I have wanted to work more closely with. E3 and planning for the future will be even more awesome now! https://t.co/to98Xny5s6
