Mitsubishi names Akinori Nakanishi as corporate general manager of the North American Office based at the auto maker’s global headquarters in Tokyo.
Nakanishi returns to Japan after a two years as president and CEO of Mitsubishi Motors Europe.
His successor in Europe is Tomohisa Nishina, 57, a veteran of 33 years with Mitsubishi.
He has worked in supply-chain management, logistics planning and export operations, including a stint in Europe between 2003 and 2007.
