The move marks a return to Australia by Naidoo, who was previously head of sales at Lexus from 2013 to 2020 according to his LinkedIn.
On his appointment, Naidoo said: “My focus – and that of my team – will be to articulate Toyota’s compelling vision as a mobility company, connecting everyone with the freedom to move and be moved.
“This will require even deeper collaboration across all parts of our business as we navigate the once-in-a-century transformations occurring simultaneously in connectivity, autonomy, sharing and electrification.
“We will communicate the unique benefits to customers of Toyota’s industry-leading vehicles and services. We will also build on our success by accelerating innovation in the spirit of continuous improvement, which is a cornerstone of our company culture.”
