Except twist of theatrical, Renault's board should endorse the departure of Thierry Bolloré, the survivor of the time Carlos Ghosn.
Cleaning up at Renault. A board of directors is meeting this morning. On the menu: the replacement of the boss.
Yes, the fate of Renault CEO Thierry Bolloré is indeed played this morning. Except sudden theatrical, the council should ratify the departure of this survivor of the time Carlos Ghosn. He is criticized for his bad relations with Nissan, which, according to his critics, jeopardizes the revival of the Alliance with the Japanese partner. Thierry Bolloré has never really got along with the successor of Ghosn, the former boss of Michelin Jean-Dominique Senard, to whom the State shareholder has asked to "clean up".
In fact, 11 months after the arrest of Carlos Ghosn in Tokyo, Renault has still not overcome the crisis.
No, this case deeply destabilized the group. Several senior leaders have even gone to the enemy, I mean at PSA. As for Thierry Bolloré, he defends himself this morning in the columns of Les Echos by denouncing, I quote, a "stunning and disturbing stroke of power" of the president of Renault who, he says, "affirmed until then that there did not have a sheet of cigarette paper between us "and now wants his head ... Renault must urgently find a new operational boss, Nissan never ceases to see its performance plunge, the alliance pitched: it's a lot of challenges at the same time while out the automotive sector is in full swing. It's time for Renault and Nissan to regain a zen spirit ... but we are far from it!
