Trappes, France (ots/PRNewswire)

- Brian Carolin Named as Successor
After 35 years in the automotive industry, including the last five
years with Nissan Europe S.A.S., Mario Canavesi, Senior Vice
President, Sales and Marketing, has announced he is leaving the
company effective December 31, 2004. Brian Carolin, currently Vice
President Sales Operations, is appointed Senior Vice President, Sales
and Marketing for Nissan Europe's operations, replacing Canavesi. In
this role, Carolin will oversee Nissan's sales and marketing
activities in over 30 countries across Europe and will report
directly to Patrick Pelata, Executive Vice President, Nissan Motor
Company, Ltd. and Chairman of the Management Committee Europe.
"My time at Nissan Europe has been very rewarding and I am
fortunate to have had the support of an excellent team, particularly
during the last five years as we undertook the most significant
turnaround in Nissan Europe's history. It has been gratifying to see
Nissan begin to live up to its potential in Europe and I am confident
it will continue to grow, profitably for years to come," said
Canavesi.
Canavesi joined Nissan in March 2000 shortly after the Company
announced the Nissan Revival Plan and following the Renault-Nissan
Alliance. His previous responsibilities included a number of sales
and marketing positions with Renault SA. Canavesi joined Renault's
advertising department in 1969 and his most recent position with
Renault was as Managing Director for Renault Germany from 1997 to
2000.
"Mario has played a vital role in Nissan Europe's swift return to
profitability. He has made many needed changes in the sales and
marketing organization and led the efforts to quickly improve
Nissan's distribution system across Europe," said Pelata.
Since joining Nissan in 1984 at Nissan Motor Manufacturing (UK)
Ltd., Carolin has held the positions of General Manager, Corporate
Support followed by Product Marketing at Nissan Europe. In 1998 he
was appointed to the position of Managing Director for Nissan Motor
Great Britain (NMGB), where he was responsible for Nissan's sales and
marketing activities in the United Kingdom. He returned to Nissan
Europe in March of this year as Vice-President Sales Operations.
"Sales and Marketing are vital functions for Nissan as they
directly impact our brand image and customer awareness," said Pelata.
"Brian's appointment will allow Nissan to continue to maximize the
efficiency and effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts as we
embark upon an aggressive product blitz over the three years."
In Europe, Nissan's operations include automotive styling,
engineering, sales and marketing, distribution and manufacturing.
