Howard Lincoln was really one of the best executives to ever work at Nintendo, so I don't see what nationality has to do with it.
Lincoln was primarily responsible for the acquisition of Rare, which brought Nintendo DKC, which allowed them to really pull ahead of the Genesis and then it basically saved the N64, because without GoldenEye the system probably would've withered and died between that long wait until Zelda: Oot was ready.
If the person is a good executive and brings a solid vision to the company and can actually execute on that, then I don't see what the problem is.
