Nissan reorganizes executive team in pursuit of corporate transformation

In response to slumping sales and a plummeting operating profit, Nissan Motor Co. has announced a series of cost-reduction measures aimed at improving efficiency and resilience. These measures are supported by the company's leadership, including President and CEO Makoto Uchida, who considers them necessary.

The cost-reduction measures include job eliminations, with plans to eliminate 9,000 jobs. Nissan also announced an initiative to cut global production by 20%. These steps are intended to bring experience and urgency to countermeasures and get the company back on track.

Shohei Yamazaki, previously the chairperson of the management committee for China, has been named the chairperson of the management committee for Japan/ASEAN. In a similar move, Christian Meunier, previously the CEO for Stellantis' Jeep brand, has been named chairperson of the management committee for the Americas.

Stephen Ma, who was previously CFO, is now the chairperson of the management committee for China. Guillaume Cartier has been named to an expanded role as chief performance officer. Jeremey Papin has been named CFO. Asako Hoshino will retire from her role overseeing the partnership's operations, but will continue as the chief brand and customer officer.

Nissan has been emphasizing the importance of cybersecurity issues, such as those related to connected vehicles and digital transformation, in recent years. However, the exact structure and personnel of specific cybersecurity committees is not always publicly communicated. In large companies like Nissan, responsibility for cybersecurity typically lies with experts below the C-level or in specialized teams, often led by a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). As of December 2023, there was no definitive public announcement regarding a "Leader of the Management Committee for the Cybersecurity" role at Nissan Motor Co.

For the most up-to-date information, the next Nissan General Meeting or the current Revision Report could contain the desired information.
