Isuzu Australia Limited (IAL) has appointed Ashwin Iyer to the role of Chief of Corporate Services.
He succeeds Paul Evans, who steps into a new role as IAL Director and chief risk officer.
Iyer previously held the role of Head of Information Technology, operating from the brand’s head office at Truganina in Melbourne.
In his new role, Iyer is responsible for overseeing several divisions including the departments of people and culture, financial control along with IT.
“The appointment of Ashwin as chief of corporate services comes at a time of exceptional growth for Isuzu Trucks,” IAL director and chief operation officer Andrew Harbison says.
“Ensuring the corporate side of the business is supported with the right people is crucial to our ongoing ability to meet this demand. Ashwin brings to bear a dedicated focus honed through experience working in the administrative, IT and governance sides of our operation.
“He is now applying that to the important areas of financial control and our people and culture department as part of this integral role.
“Paul Evans is on-hand to assist with this transition as he heads into an important position leading our risk management team,” he says.
Iyer says he is confident that Isuzu has the structures and people in place to meet the ever-changing needs of the business.
“So much has changed with COVID and Isuzu is no different in this regard, with the company adapting and pivoting to overcome considerable challenges during this period,” Iyer says.
“One of the key strengths of the business remains in its strong culture which includes our leadership and ability to work as a cohesive team across the national stage.”
“Having things in order is not just about what happens at Head Office in Melbourne, it flows down to our teams across the country, our relationships with dealers and crucially, supporting them as they deliver the Isuzu truck ownership experience to our many customers.
“For me, the priorities are to ensure the corporate services side of the business remains strong across its key channels. I am confident we have the structures and people in place to ensure that the challenges now and into the future can be met,” he says.
