Matt Callachor has been named as new vice president of Toyota Australia.
Callachor has been with Toyota for almost 35 years and is currently working at Lexus International as general manager in planning as part of a three year intra company transfer.
In his last role, Callachor was the executive director of sales and marketing at Toyota Australia , a position that he held from January 2010 to May 2013.
In his new role as vice president, he will be responsible for overseeing Toyota Australia’s non-manufacturing operating arms, which include sales and marketing, product planning and development, corporate services and finance.
He will report directly to president Dave Buttner, while the four directors responsible for the company’s non-manufacturing operating arms will report to Callachor.
This restructure will allow chairman Max Yasuda and president Dave Buttner to focus on strategic matters and long-term planning, while Callachor will focus on the day to day operations of his responsible areas.
Speaking about his appointment, he says: “The company is in the midst of its biggest transformation and it is important that we not only make this the most respectful employee transition, but also that we ensure any changes are as seamless as possible for our guests.
“My main focus will be on ensuring that we continue to deliver great products and services to our guests and create those ‘oh what a feeling!’ moments every day,” he adds.
The appointment will be effective as of June 1, 2016 and Callachor will be based at CHQ in Port Melbourne, Victoria.
