MISSISSAUGA, Ontario -

Porsche Canada recently announced a change to its leadership.

Starting in September, Joe Lawrence will become executive vice president and chief operating officer of Porsche Cars North America.

Lawrence’ successor as president and chief executive officer of Porsche Cars Canada will be announced at a later date, the company said.

Lawrence joined Porsche Cars Canada in 2009, shortly after it was founded in April 2008.

And the company branch has come a long way, selling 3,003 units in Canada last year.

“Under his leadership, the organization posted record sales in each of the last three years and became Canada's fastest growing premium automotive brand in 2012,” officials said.

Under Lawrence, franchised dealerships were opened in London, Saskatoon and Oakville, Ontario, as well as Langley, British Columbia.
