TOKYO—Nissan Chief Performance Officer Jose Munoz, who took a leave of absence recently, has resigned, the first high-profile departure at the Japanese automaker publicly acknowledged as related to the arrest of former Chairman Carlos Ghosn.
Munoz said in a statement on LinkedIn June 12 he made the decision after serious thinking because the company was “involved in matters that have and will continue to divert its focus,” referring to Ghosn’s case.
