Toyota Swaps N. American Sales Chiefs for its Toyota, Lexus Brands

Toyota Motor Corp.’s current vice presidents for Lexus and Toyota brand sales operations in the U.S. have switched jobs, Automotive News reports.

David Christ previously headed 10 Toyota brand regional offices and two independent distributors in North America. Andrew Gilleland has overseen similar functions for Lexus since February after moving the luxury brand from Toyota’s now-defunct Scion youth brand.

Toyota says the job switch is part of a continuing realignment of the company’s unspecified corporate objectives and an opportunity to provide both executives further job growth. In their new assignments, Christ will report to Lexus General Manager Jack Hollis, and Christ will report to Lexus General Manager Jeff Bracken.​
