Conomos is the first Australian and one of only five non-Japanese executives to be appointed to a role at this senior level within TMC. His new responsibilities “will reflect the evolving needs of Toyota’s expanding global operations”, Toyota Australia said in a statement.
Executives appointed to these roles understand Toyota’s philosophy well and have made significant contributions to the establishment of business in their respective countries, TMC said.
