Previously, he ran Nissan’s Infiniti business as an account manager at TBWA\Chiat\Day, Playa del Rey, Calif. Cutwater, San Francisco, has Jeep among its brands.

“I’m really excited about Walt because he has more years in the business than I do,” said Cutwater’s ecd and founder Chuck McBride, confirming the hire.
