NEXUS Adds New Team Member, Expanding Presence In Japan

Masashi Ogawa joins the NEXUS team as Japanese Suppliers Partnerships Manager.

NEXUS has announced the appointment of Masashi Ogawa to the Nexus team.

At the end of 2019 NEXUS announced that three Suppliers hubs would be created in 2020 in various regions of the world, with the scope to accelerate and strongly support our partners at a global and local level. 

NEXUS opened offices in key locations – one in Heidelberg, Germany, and one in Osaka, Japan. The opening of the third strategic location, in the U..S (Chicago), was delayed because of COVID-19, but it is in the process of being opened.

These actions taken during 2020, in collaboration with important and valuable partners, clearly show NEXUS’ commitment to the global aftermarket landscape.  

Ogawa joins the NEXUS team as Japanese Suppliers Partnerships Manager, with the objective of more actively promoting the leading Japanese manufacturers around the world. 

With 30 years of experience within the automotive industry and a high-level academic background, Masashi-san is committed to providing continuous and advanced support to the N! Community.
