The appointment follows the end of the term of Takayuki Kimura, who led Maserati Korea and Japan. Thapa, who has overseen sales in the Korean market, will take the post April 1.
Maserati said Thapa has built his career around sales strategy and network development in the auto industry. Since joining Maserati in 2018, he has worked on business planning and operations in the Asia-Pacific region and led dealer network development.
After Maserati Korea launched in July 2024, Thapa served as sales director, leading nationwide sales and network operations.
Maserati also said it has reorganized its Asia-Pacific operating structure. The newly established Maserati APAC organization covers South Korea, Greater China, Japan, and Southeast Asia and the Pacific region.
The company said Taieb-Dutrio, who has more than 25 years of international experience in the luxury auto industry, will oversee the organization and pursue marketing and sales strategies tailored to each national market.
