Johan de Nysschen, the (now former) president of Infiniti, has officially jumped ship. The 54-year-old, who was also the chief executive for Audi USA, has taken the position of president at Cadillac, following a two-year stint at the Nissan-owned luxury brand. In his new role, the 54-year-old will be responsible "for all aspects of Cadillac globally," according to a statement from General Motors.

"Johan brings to our company vast experience in the development and proper execution of luxury automotive brands," said GM President Dan Ammann, de Nysschen's new boss. "With over 20 years in this exact space, especially in the development of the Audi brand, his track record proves he is the perfect executive to lead Cadillac for the long term."

"I have for some time now been impressed by how the new General Motors has been transformed into a formidable force in the industry," de Nysschen said in a statement. "The combination of strong corporate leadership and exceptional engineering resources presents the perfect combination to restore Cadillac to its place among global premium brands."

As of right now, it's not clear when de Nysschen will take up his new role at Cadillac. Infiniti, meanwhile, has given no indication of who might take his de Nysschen's place at the Hong Kong-based manufacturer. More information as it becomes available.
