LEASEPLAN’S Ian Miller is one of three experienced managers to join the Nissan fleet management team, as head of fleet planning and operations in the new-look team.
He brings a wealth of experience with many years in fleet and leasing, most recently as regional sales director at LeasePlan.
Marco Capozzoli is Nissan’s new head of national dealer fleet, having spent nine years at Volkswagen Group as a national public sector manager and regional corporate sales manager within the leasing company, and previously at Daimler Fleet.
Finally, Peter Johnson, with more than 20 years’ experience in the automotive industry, joins Nissan as head of fleet leasing and specialist sales.
His previous roles, covering the UK and internationally, include working with Kwik-Fit Euro, Unipart International and Volvo Car Group in various senior sales, aftersales, finance, fleet and marketing roles.
All three newcomers will be based at Nissan’s Maple Cross headquarters, under fleet director Iker Lazzari, who has restructured the fleet management team to reflect the brand’s ambitions for 2018.
This restructure has not only seen these three newly created roles but also a restructure of the senior management team within Nissan Fleet.
They join client service manager Dan Thomas, head of fleet marketing Amy Harms, head of corporate fleet Adam Connelly and head of rental Kevin Childs.
Welcoming the trio to the team, Iker said: “I am delighted to welcome Ian, Marco and Peter to our refreshed management team at this crucial time in the development of the new ‘We Mean Business’ Fleet Strategy.
“They are going to play a key role in driving our ambitions to become the top Asian brand in UK fleet and their experience is going to help us drive performance and best practice throughout our operations, from head office down to our network of Fleet Business Centres.”
