These leadership updates are intended to reinforce INFINITI’s reputation for offering high-quality vehicles at accessible price points. Brian Maragno will assume the role of Chief Marketing Manager (CMM) for INFINITI USA. He’ll be tasked with overseeing the introduction of new models over the next four years while maintaining the strength of the brand’s current lineup.

Tony Gardina is stepping into the position of Director of Marketing Operations & Strategy for INFINITI Americas. His focus will be on growing sales throughout the U.S. and beyond, working in partnership with Nissan to support those goals.

The ultimate goal behind the changes is to boost profitability and increase global market share. Over the past few years, INFINITI has seen strong competition from both international and domestic automakers, such as Hyundai and Ford.

Eric Ledieu has been named Director of INFINITI Sales & Regional Operations in the U.S. He’ll work on better coordinating U.S. sales initiatives with the brand’s global strategy and managing the current lineup more efficiently.

By optimizing operations and cutting unnecessary costs, INFINITI hopes to become more responsive to market trends. This streamlined approach could result in more competitive pricing and an improved ability to meet customer expectations.
