As MD of Nissan’s Latin American Importer Business, she oversaw operations in 34 markets, spearheaded a comprehensive business transformation, and achieved consistent growth alongside exceptional customer service.

“I am thrilled to be back in the UK where my career with Nissan started 12 years ago. We face a period of significant change in the industry and will need to build a culture of collaboration, partnership and innovation to ensure our continued growth and success.”

“Congratulations to Diana on her appointment. Her vision, experience, and high-performance track record make her ideally placed to lead one of our most important markets through a period of rapid transformation and shift to electrification.”
