Lepley Heads Sales, Marketing at Revamped Mitsubishi Division

Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America Inc. has combined its sales and marketing departments under Rick Lepley, promoting him to the new post of senior vice president of sales and marketing.

Lepley had been senior vice president of sales.

Company officials said the consolidation, which creates a 76-employee division, reflects efforts to better coordinate Mitsubishi’s various advertising and dealer support programs.

Within the sales department, other changes include the appointment of Joe Zeuli as manager of dealer development, replacing Mike Raumschuh, who has been selected as western region sales manager.

Mitsubishi Motor Sales, the 10-year-old U.S. importer and distributor of Mitsubishi trucks and cars, also has placed its public relations and government affairs offices under Dan McNamara, senior vice president of corporate administration.
