Brad Bradshaw, senior vice president of Nissan North America, has resigned after less than a year on the job.

Bradshaw will be succeeded by Mark McNabb, corporate vice president of Nissan Motor Co. Ltd., and head of the Infiniti global business.

McNabb will assume the role of senior vice president of sales and marketing immediately. He will be based at the company's headquarters in Nashville.

McNabb will keep his leadership of Infiniti in addition to his new role in North America. He joined Nissan in 1986 and for nearly 20 years worked in various sales, marketing and business leadership roles for the company in North American and Japan.

Between February 2006 and January 2007, McNabb worked for Mercedes-Benz of America, first as vice president of marketing and then as vice president of sales and marketing.

He rejoined Nissan in April 2007.
