Nissan faces major personnel changes, new CEO selection sparks controversy

Nissan will hold a special meeting on March 6 to discuss the future of current CEO Makoto Uchida. Although his term will not expire until February 2025, the reality does not allow him to continue to serve as CEO. It is reported that the board of directors is considering letting CFO Papin, who came from the North American market, temporarily take over the CEO position. This decision has caused considerable controversy because when he was in charge of the North American market last year, Nissan's sales were nearly 20% behind Honda.
