Nissan announced the hiring of former Consumer Reports auto test center senior director, David Champion, for the newly created position of executive adviser, competitive assessment and quality.
Champion will report to Steve Monk, director, vehicle evaluation and testing and chief marketability engineer for Nissan Technical Center North America, and he will be based at its Arizona testing center. His work also will align closely with customer satisfaction efforts overseen by Carla Bailo, senior vice president, research and development.
Champion's hiring marks his return to Nissan, where he served as a quality assurance engineer from 1994 to 1997, working to identify and correct customer dissatisfiers.
Prior to his roles at Consumer Reports and Nissan, Champion was a principal engineer at Land Rover of North America, where he established remote test facilities throughout the United States and Canada. Champion earned dual bachelor's degrees at University of Aston, Birmingham, England, in mechanical engineering and metal and material science.
Champion joins Nissan on Sept. 10.
