In his new role, the 42-year-old Cuban-American will head a team

He will report directly to Shiro Nakamura, president of NDE and chief
creative officer and senior vice president of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.
"I expect Alfonso to be a great stimulus to Nissan Design Europe
creations with his multicultural background, as well as the knowledge
he has obtained through his experience working in North America and
Japan," said Nakamura.
Albaisa is currently based at Nissan's design center in Atsugi,
Japan where he is product chief designer for a next-generation
compact car.
Albaisa started his career at Nissan Design America (NDA) in 1988

degree in industrial design. He is married with three daughters and
is an avid sailor.
NDE, the only vehicle design studio in London, opened in January
2003 and is responsible for designing the next generation of Nissan
cars for Europe and other regions. Nissan's new compact crossover
Qashqai, which just went on sale in Europe, was designed at NDE. NDE
is also involved in global design projects and plays a strategically
important role in Nissan's creative network comprising six design
studios worldwide.
