Nissan’s marketing boss Tim Stuckey ousted

Tim Stuckey, head of marketing and sales at Nissan Australia, has left the company.

His departure follows an announcement by Nissan Australia’s MD and CEO Dan Thompson that the Japanese carmaker has ambitions to become the number one car importer in Australia by 2013.

Stuckey, who was executive general manager of marketing and sales, joined Nissan two years ago from Wesfarmers where he was general manager of marketing services.

His duties, which were brand and model line marketing, national sales, product planning and dealer performance, have been transferred to Thompson temporarily while the company searches for a replacement.
