Miller time: Jason Miller is back working with Renault boss Justin Hocevar after previously working together at Mini Australia.

RENAULT Australia has appointed Jason Miller as marketing director, replacing David Henderson who is now head of customer relationship marketing for National Australia Bank.

Mr Miller was most recently commercial manager (OEM and corporate) at Carsales.com Limited, having previously worked in senior management positions at Honda Australia – including general manager of communications and customer experience – as well as Mini Australia and Ford Australia.

Renault has also appointed Brent Smith as national fleet business development manager.

Mr Smith was previously national sales manager for automotive retention solutions group Code Red Marketing and Customers for Life.

In announcing Mr Miller’s appointment, Renault Australia managing director Justin Hocevar – who previously worked with Mr Miller at BMW Group Australia last decade, when he (Hocevar) was national Mini manager – said: “Having worked with Jason in a previous role, I know that he will be a valuable addition, bringing with him a wealth of experience and fresh ideas to further strengthen the Renault brand in Australia.

“It is important that we have a passionate team that can continue to lead the business to achieve further milestones, especially with the introduction of two key products in the coming months,” he said.

These two products are the new-generation versions of the Megane small hatch and Koleos mid-size SUV.
