Toyota Australia has appointed Vin Naidoo as chief marketing officer.

The 20-year Toyota executive steps into the new role after a two-year international assignment as general manager of sales and marketing operations with Toyota Motor Asia-Pacific, based in Singapore.

"My focus – and that of my team – will be to articulate Toyota's compelling vision as a mobility company, connecting everyone with the freedom to move and be moved," Naidoo says.

“This will require even deeper collaboration across all parts of our business as we navigate the once-in-a-century transformations occurring simultaneously in connectivity, autonomy, sharing and electrification.

"We will communicate the unique benefits to customers of Toyota's industry-leading vehicles and services. We will also build on our success by accelerating innovation in the spirit of continuous improvement, which is a cornerstone of our company culture.”

Naidoo joined Toyota Australia in 2002 and has since held a variety of positions across Toyota's after-sales, product planning, national fleet, national sales, and NSW regional operations.

Between 2013 and his move to Singapore, Naidoo was part of the Lexus Australia leadership team, including three years as the head of marketing.

Naidoo replaces John Pappas who has been promoted to chief executive at Lexus Australia.
