ISUZU AUSTRALIA LIMITED APPOINTS NEW DIRECTOR AND CHIEF FINANCE OFFICER
22 June 2010
Australian truck market sales leader, Isuzu Australia Limited
(IAL), has announced the appointment of Makoto (Mark) Suzuki to the
position of Director of Administration and Chief Finance Officer
effective 2 June, 2010, following the transfer of Kazumasa Suzuki
to Isuzu operations in Indonesia.
Mr Makoto Suzuki has worked for the Isuzu Motors organisation
for over 25 years and was previously in charge of Isuzu Motors
America's diesel engine joint venture with General Motors.
According to Mr Makoto Suzuki, the move to Australia presents
many new challenges as Australia's truck market is a crucial part
of Isuzu Motors' global operations.
"Australia has been and will continue to be a very important
market for Isuzu Motors," Mr Makoto Suzuki said.
"IAL has achieved more than two decades of consecutive truck
market sales leadership and has done so in a very mature and
crowded market.
"I look forward to working closely with IAL personnel and
playing a role in the company's continued strong performance here,"
Mr Makoto Suzuki said.
In commenting on the latest appointment, IAL Director and Chief
Operating Officer, Phil Taylor, said Makoto Suzuki brought a wealth
of sales and business management experience to IAL's senior
management team, and would assist the organisation in meeting
future challenges.
"Makoto, with his experience in North America, will add extra
depth and focus to the Isuzu Australia team, and assist the
organisation in meeting its environmental and operational
objectives going forward," Mr Taylor said.
