In it's latest announcement, the company's North American chief executive has been named as commercial director for the parent company as well.<br />
<br />
Mark McNabb was <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/28/report-mcnabb-left-gm-premium-post-for-maserati-position/">appointed CEO of Maserati North America</a> less than a year ago. He joined the company with <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/21/report-cadillac-hummer-saab-chief-mark-mcnabb-resigns-after-jus/">little over a year's experience at General Motors</a>, running the Cadillac, Saab and Hummer brands, after having held senior positions at Nissan/Infiniti and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2006/02/25/personnel-changes-around-the-industry/">Mercedes-Benz</a>.<br />
<br />
In his new capacity as commercial director for Maserati SpA, McNabb will replace Raffaele Fusilli (who is leaving the company), report to <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/03/harald-j-wester-replaces-roberto-ronchi-as-maserati-ceo/">Harald J. Wester</a> and - in typical Fiat-empire executive style - continue holding his parallel role as chief of the North American operation as well. Press release after the jump.<br />

After working for General Motors for 13 months leading Cadillac, Hummer, and Saab, McNabb <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/21/report-cadillac-hummer-saab-chief-mark-mcnabb-resigns-after-jus/">announced his resignation last week</a> as of June 1. His destination, it turns out, is Maserati, where he'll replace <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/22/report-maseratis-north-american-ceo-steps-down-after-less-than/">former North American CEO Marti Eulberg</a>, Who resigned last month after less than a year on the job.<br /><br />At GM, McNabb ended up shepherding one of his brands and trying to sell the other two. At Maserati he'll have just one brand to lead and he'll be focused on selling its cars. Maserati sales have done their impression of a sinkhole, falling 48% worldwide and nearly 58% in America, taking revenue numbers with them. We find those numbers a little surprising, but perhaps the coming <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/Granturismoconvertible/">GranTurismo convertible</a> will help things out. In the mean time, best of luck to you, Mr. McNabb. <br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.autonews.com/article/20090526/ANA05/905269990/1018">Automotive News</a> - Sub.

In addition to uncertainty about what the future holds for the premium channel (Cadillac and GM itself), we suspect that the job's responsibilities are ultimately probably not what he he had in mind. <br /><br />McNabb came to GM after a second stint at Nissan - he had actually been with both Nissan and Infiniti for 20 years, before he jumped off to join Mercedes-Benz in 2005 as head of marketing. After moving over to become head of Benz sales, he returned to Nissan the summer of 2007. <br /><br />There is no official word yet on where McNabb is headed or who will be his permanant replacement, but in the meantime, Stephen J. Hill, currently the general sales manager of the premium channel, will take over in the interim. Said a Cadillac spokesman, there has been "a lot of positive change here" under McNabb, "and we have a lot of product in the pipeline and so we're well positioned for the future."<br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090521/ANA02/905219991/1128">Automotive News</a>, sub req'd]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/21/report-cadillac-hummer-saab-chief-mark-mcnabb-resigns-after-jus/">REPORT: Cadillac/Hummer/Saab chief Mark McNabb resigns after just 13 months</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Thu, 21 May 2009 16:57:00 EST.

<p>Mercedes-Benz USA has accepted the resignation of Keith May, Vice President of Sales since joining the company in 2000, who is leaving "to pursue other interests". May will be replaced by Mark McNabb, former Vice President of Marketing for MBUSA.</p>
<p>McNabb joined Mercedes-Benz as marketing chief last February, coming from Nissan's Tokyo office. Previous titles also include VP and GM of Nissan and Infiniti brands in the United States.</p>
<p>Until Mercedes names a successor to McNabb as VP of marketing, he will perform both jobs.</p>

<p>This next item doesn't really qualify as auto <em>enthusiast</em> news, but as we know a lot of folks in theindustry read Autoblog, we thought we'd share the following personel movements:</p>
<p>Mark McNabb is the next in the string of execs deciding not to make the move with Nissan to Tennessee, but he won'tbe staying in Cali either. Starting Monday, McNabb will be <ahref="http://www.adweek.com/aw/national/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002074061">vice president of marketing forMercedes-Benz USA</a>, reporting directly to CEO Paul Halata.</p>
