Yoshizane, new Bridgestone India MD, succeeding Sanchini. Strategic leader, with diverse experience, eyeing growth in India's dynamic automotive market.
Bridgestone India, a prominent player in the global tyre and sustainable mobility solutions industry, has revealed that Hiroshi Yoshizane will be taking the helm as the new Managing Director. This transition follows the successful tenure of Stefano Sanchini, who will now assume the role of Vice President of Consumer Replacement for Europe.
Hiroshi Yoshizane brings a wealth of leadership experience to his new role, having served in various key positions at Bridgestone Japan. His most recent position was as the Executive Vice President of Solution Business, Retail & Service Business in Bridgestone Tire Solution Japan Co., Ltd.
This appointment aligns with Bridgestone Corporation's recent global reorganization of Bridgestone East and West. India will now be integrated into BSAPIC as a single Strategic Business Unit (SBU) alongside Asia Pacific and China. This move recognizes the shared consumer sentiments in these regions, allowing Bridgestone to leverage synergies and further develop these markets.
Stefano Sanchini, who assumed the role of Managing Director in January 2023, has led Bridgestone India through a period of significant achievements. Under his leadership, the company marked milestones such as the production of the hundredth million tyre at its Indore plant and the carbon-neutral certification of the Pune plant.
Expressing his enthusiasm for the new role, Hiroshi Yoshizane emphasized India's strategic significance as a dynamic and growing market for Bridgestone. With the country's automotive sector poised for substantial advances in both numbers and technology, Yoshizane looks forward to collaborating with partners and the Bridgestone team to serve customers, vehicle manufacturers, and communities at large.
Outgoing Managing Director Stefano Sanchini reflected on his tenure in India as fulfilling and a valuable learning experience. He acknowledged the uniqueness of the Indian market, with its diversity and complexities. Sanchini expressed gratitude to the Bridgestone team and business partners for their support and warmth, expressing confidence in the organization's readiness to optimize opportunities in 2024.
