Nissan Announces New Leadership for AMIEO Region Amidst Cost-Saving Drive
Japanese car manufacturer Nissan has announced a change in leadership for its AMIEO region, which encompasses Africa, the Middle East, India, Europe, and Oceania. Massimiliano (Max) Messina has been appointed as the new chairperson for the region, effective October 1, 2025.
The appointment comes during a significant period for Nissan, as the company is currently undergoing a huge cost-saving drive. This drive, aimed at reducing expenses, has resulted in various changes within the company, including job cuts, factory closures, and design centre downsizings.
Before his appointment, Massimiliano Messina held top management roles at Nissan, but specific previous positions are not detailed in the provided sources. Guillaume Cartier, who was previously the chairperson of the AMIEO region, appointed in 2021, is now focusing solely on his role as the chief performance officer, a global position.
Guillaume Cartier is stepping down from his role as chairperson to focus exclusively on his role as chief performance officer. It is not clear if he is leaving his position or taking on a different role within Nissan.
The cost-saving drive has been a challenging period for Nissan, but the company is determined to move forward. As part of this push, Nissan is ramping up its EV (electric vehicle) efforts in Europe and attempting to solidify its presence in the Middle East and African markets.
Massimiliano Messina will be responsible for the operations in the AMIEO region. With his appointment, the region is now under his leadership. The reasons for his appointment as the new chairperson for the AMIEO region were not disclosed.
The change in leadership for the AMIEO region was not specified with regards to a date, and it is unclear if the cost-saving drive has concluded or is ongoing. Nonetheless, Nissan remains committed to its strategic goals and is looking forward to the future under the leadership of Massimiliano Messina.
