Tokyo: A top Nissan Motor Co. executive and ally of Carlos Ghosn has resigned, the company said, in a first shake-up at the Japanese auto maker since the arrest of the former Chairman.
Jose Munoz, who went on leave of absence a week ago, oversaw business strategy for Nissan’s seven regional and business units and had direct oversight of the company’s China operations, Efe news reported.
His future had been in question following the November 19 arrest of Ghosn in Japan and criticism from current Nissan Chief Executive Hiroto Saikawa. (IANS)
