Former Audi fleet boss Iain Carmichael has joined leasing firm and salary-sacrifice expert Tusker as chief commercial officer.

Carmichael joined Tusker, ranked 23 in the most recent BusinessCar BC50 chart of top leasing companies, earlier this month, having left Audi in May 2012 after more than six years heading up its fleet department. Prior to that he was Seat’s fleet boss for three years.

Carmichael is Tusker’s second big-name appointment in recent times, having recruited Mark Sinclair from his role as Alphabet’s director of international operations just over a year ago to become chief operating officer.
