Harvey Lamm resigned as chairman and chief executive of Subaru of America, which merged last week with Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., the companies announced.
The joint announcement came four days after the merger that made Subaru of America--an auto marketing firm based in Cherry Hill, N.J.--a wholly owned subsidiary of Fuji Heavy Industries, the Japanese manufacturer that builds Subaru cars.
Lamm was succeeded as chairman by Takeshi Higurashi, Fuji’s managing director in charge of Subaru’s overseas business. Masaharu Masumitsu, appointed in July as vice chairman, was named chief executive.
Subaru also announced the early retirement Oct. 31 of Marvin S. Riesenbach as executive vice president and chief financial officer.
