Ron Stach, senior vice president of sales at Volkswagen of
America, left the automaker on Jan. 4, the magazine reported
late on Friday.
Spokespeople at VW's global headquarters in Wolfsburg didn't
return calls seeking comment.
Stach, who joined VW's North America operations in 2006 and
previously worked at Mazda Motor Corp's <7261.T> division in the
region, couldn't be reached for comment.
VW said last Wednesday that its U.S. sales rose 5.2 percent to
339,676 brand models last year but plunged 19 percent in
December after posting their first monthly drop in 2017 in
November.
Stach will be replaced temporarily by Derrick Hatami who joined
VW of America last June as executive vice president for sales
and marketing, Automotive News reported.
