NICK Salkeld has decided to step down as LeasePlan chief commercial officer to focus on his other business interests. He has been with LeasePlan for over 30 years, becoming LeasePlan’s first CCO in 2014.

LeasePlan CEO Tex Gunning said: “Nick has been instrumental in helping to build LeasePlan to the company it is today, playing a key role in developing LeasePlan’s reputation for product innovation and customer service excellence.

“As CCO Nick has brought great momentum to LeasePlan’s efforts to grow the fleet and to introduce new service concepts. On behalf of the managing board I would like to express our gratitude for Nick’s contribution to LeasePlan during his many years with the company.”

Nick Salkeld will continue to provide advice and support to LeasePlan’s Managing Board until the end of 2017.

With Salkeld stepping down, LeasePlan Corporation, a leading fleet management and driver mobility company, has announced two new managing board members, following approval by the Dutch Central Bank (DNB).

Daniëlle Pos is the company’s new chief legal and compliance officer and Yolanda Paulissen is the new chief strategic finance and investor relations officer. Both functions are new to the company.
