TOKYO: Japan’s Toshiba Corp. on Tuesday announced the resignation of President and CEO Satoshi Tsunakawa, effective immediately.

Corporate Senior Vice President Taro Shimada succeeded Tsunakawa as Toshiba president and CEO. Goro Yanase, president and CEO of Toshiba Elevator and Building Systems Corp., a Toshiba subsidiary, replaced Hatazawa.
The move came amid lingering confusion over the company’s plan to split itself.
