Two executive vice presidents at Toyota Motor North America have taken on new C-suite roles as the automaker announced a new leadership structure Monday.
The changes are designed to drive continued growth, advance the company’s commitment to vehicle electrification and prepare for the future of mobility, according to a news release.
Jack Hollis, EVP of TMNA, adds the role of chief operating officer. In the newly created position, he continues to oversee sales, marketing, TRD, product planning and customer service while adding responsibility for manufacturing, product support and demand and supply.
The release said the new role consolidates several company-wide functions into a more responsive reporting structure focused on the customer experience, operational efficiency, revenue generation and vehicle production.
Chris Reynolds, EVP of TMNA, adds the role of chief strategy officer where he continues to oversee strategy and business development, human resources, information technology, connected technologies, legal, social innovation/diversity and inclusion and sustainability and regulatory affairs while adding responsibility for research and development. The newly created role is responsible for developing long-term strategies for growth and driving innovation that improves mobility and reduces the company's carbon footprint, the release said.
In their new roles, Hollis and Reynolds will continue to report to Tetsuo “Ted” Ogawa, chief executive officer of TMNA. The changes are effective immediately.
