Nissan North America's Future Senior VP of Sales & Marketing, Brad Bradshaw, Featured at Next Motor Press Guild Meeting

Bradshaw to Discuss Nissan's Next Generation of Success, Including the Upcoming Move to Nashville

LOS ANGELES, June 1 -- At the June 6 Motor Press Guild (MPG) luncheon, future Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Nissan North America, Brad Bradshaw, will discuss the next generation of Nissan's success.

Bradshaw currently serves as Nissan's vice president and general manager, but when the company moves from Southern California to Nashville this summer, he will take over for Jed Connelly to head Nissan and Infiniti's sales and marketing departments (Connelly will retire at the end of July).

During the MPG meeting, Bradshaw will both discuss and answer questions about one of this year's hottest and most-talked-about announcements in the automotive business -- Nissan's move to Tennessee. Topics covered will include:

  *  Personnel changes associated with the company's move
  *  Strategy behind the move, including timing
  *  Plans for parts of the business to remain in California

Bradshaw also will discuss Nissan and Infiniti's product and sales momentum, giving detailed information about the 2007 model-year lineup and future marketing strategies.

Bradshaw has many years of experience in the automotive industry, including more than 20 years with Nissan North America. Past positions include advertising manager for Infiniti Division, director of finance operations, director of marketing communications, regional vice president of Nissan's Southwest and Southeast Regions, as well as vice president of marketing. Most recently, Bradshaw was the president of Nissan Canada, Inc., which markets and distributes Nissan and Infiniti vehicles in Canada. Prior to joining Nissan in 1983, Bradshaw worked for Ford Motor Company and Subaru of America.
