Former Nissan Motor Co executive Jose Munoz who served the Japanese automaker as chief performance officer is in talks with Hyundai Motor Co to take an executive role, said a media report.
Hyundai Motor is poised to appoint Munoz, 53, as global chief operating officer in South Korea and president of Hyundai Motor America, according to the report, which cited three unidentified people familiar with the plan. Terms of the contract have not been finalised, the report said.
A Hyundai Motor representative was not immediately available for comment Saturday and an email to Munoz’s personal account went unanswered.
Munoz, who reported directly to Nissan Chief Executive Officer Hiroto Saikawa, left the company in January one week after taking a leave of absence.
