Who knows if this was a demotion or if the truck group needed a change in leadership. Diaz came from leading the Ram truck group so I though Nissan Sales and Marketing might be a step up. Maybe he isn't much of a sales/marketeer and Nissan needed help prepping the 2.8L Frontier?In a surprise move Tuesday, Nissan North America announced several key executive changes, not the least of which was to move Fred Diaz, senior vice president of U.S. sales and marketing and operations, to truck and commercial sales for U.S., Canada and Mexico markets with the title of vice president. The change is effective Jan. 1.
