Nissan appoints Michael Hill as Director of Sales for Australia

MELBOURNE, Australia – Nissan Australia today announced the appointment of Michael Hill as Director of Sales for Australia, effective immediately.

Hill succeeds Ben Hamilton, who has departed the company. He will assume the role alongside his current responsibilities as Director of Aftersales Oceania, providing leadership across both the sales and aftersales functions to further strengthen Nissan's end-to-end customer experience.

Hill joined Nissan Australia in 2011 and has held a variety of leadership roles across Product Marketing, Sales Operations and Regional dealer Management. He also spent time in Nissan's AMIEO regional headquarters in a Product Marketing role, contributing to regional product strategy and planning.

During his tenure, Hill has led several significant initiatives, including the successful launch of Nissan MORE, the brand's 10-year/300,000km warranty extension program. More recently, he spearheaded the development of Nissan Australia's NISMO Performance Centre initiative, which will see factory-backed performance centres, supported by Nissan's Omori Factory in Japan, begin opening across Australia later this year.

Steve Milette, Managing Director, Nissan Oceania, said "Michael has consistently demonstrated strong commercial leadership, a deep understanding of our customers and dealer network, and a passion for delivering exceptional experiences throughout the ownership journey. His experience across multiple areas of the business makes him ideally suited to lead our sales organisation as we continue to strengthen the Nissan brand and introduce an exciting range of new products for Australian customers."
