As the former president and chief operating officer of Nintendo of America, Reggie Fils-Aimé helped bring the Nintendo DS, Wii and other leading video game systems to the global marketplace — ensuring Nintendo maintained its spot as a power player in an increasingly crowded and competitive gaming marketplace.
Being innovative, however, doesn’t just happen by chance. It takes planning and purpose, drive and determination.
Fils-Aimé will detail how Nintendo stayed ahead of the curve during the keynote address at the EisnerAmper Virtual National Summit, themed “Breaking the Rules: Innovation in Action.”
The event will take place from 2-5 p.m. Dec. 2.

During the keynote session, “The Innovator’s Rulebook for Breaking the Rules,” Fils-Aimé will share his principles for effective and innovative leadership, including defining a vision, courage in decision-making and irrefutable integrity.
Diane Wasser, the partner in charge at EisnerAmper’s top New Jersey office, at Metropark in Edison, said the summit is tailored to business owners, executives, entrepreneurs, family offices and high net worth individuals across all sectors.
This year’s summit features industry-leading speakers discussing how decision-makers can use new ways of thinking to make immediate and lasting positive impacts within their businesses. How can they reinvent themselves and their businesses to succeed in an environment of never-before-seen risk and uncertainty?
In addition to Fils-Aimé, the summit will include a number of breakout sessions, including:
