TOKYO—Toshiba Corp.’s chief government stepped down Tuesday, however the firm stated it might keep on with its plan to separate into two elements, which some overseas shareholders oppose.
Satoshi Tsunakawa, a longtime Toshiba government who had two stints as CEO, was changed within the job by Taro Shimada, 55, who joined Toshiba in 2018 after working at a Japanese unit of Germany-based Siemens AG .
