View LinkedIn ProfileExecutive Overview
As Chairman of Nissan Americas, I’m driving transformation at full speed—accelerating innovation across product design, customer experience, dealer partnerships and advanced technology. Previously, as Global CEO of Jeep, I drove record growth—over 1.2 million units annually and 5% of the global SUV market. I advanced profitability, quality, and electrification with the Wrangler 4xe (#1 U.S. PHEV) and the award-winning Avenger, earning recognition from Automotive News and MotorTrend as a top industry executive. At Nissan, I’m honored to lead a transformative strategy focused on three key areas: selling more cars, increasing profitability and taking care of the customer. I believe vehicles should ignite passion—not just provide transportation. With Nissan Americas, we’re shaping the future of mobility, empowering teams to embrace change and creating products that thrill.
