Kia Motors Names American to Its Board, First to Do So
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Korean car maker Kia Motors Corp. appointed its U.S. operations chief to its board of directors. W. Greg Warner, 51, becomes the first American executive of an Asian car company to sit on its board. Elevating its U.S. subsidiary’s top American executive to the board is a good move for Kia, analysts said, but is unlikely to set off a round of similar appointments by other Asian auto makers.
