Senior Nissan executive Frank Torres has been appointed Region Divisional Vice President for Business Transformation in the AMIEO region and the new President of Nissan India. Torres will be responsible for leading the brand across its operations in the country as Nissan continues to build on the success of the locally produced Magnite.
Torres replaces Sinan Özkök, who has overseen the successful launch of the Nissan Magnite in India and its export to overseas markets and has been appointed Vice President for Marketing and Sales Transformation and Managing Director for Independent Markets in the Nissan AMIEO region. Atsushi Najima, currently Managing Director Nissan Philippines, is appointed Nissan India Chief Financial Officer.
