Michael A. Pitcher will take over the position of president and CEO of LeasePlan USA, effective Sept. 1, the company announced. Pitcher will replace David G. Dahm, who will remain with the company as chief operating officer. Dahm has been been CEO for eight years.

Pitcher joined LeasePlan in 2003 as senior vp, corporate fleet, and since 2005 has served as executive vp, corporate fleet division, responsible for sales, marketing, operations and client services.
