Luca de Meo takes reins at Renault worldwide

RENAULT has appointed former Volkswagen Group senior executive Luca de Meo to the CEO role vacated by Thierry Bollore last October, with the French car-maker’s chief financial officer Clotilde Delbos – who stepped into the interim CEO role after Mr Bollore’s departure – promoted to deputy CEO.
The recruitment of an outsider for the crucial role within the scandal-hit Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance marks the latest leadership reshuffle in what appears to be a clearing of allies to former chairman and CEO Carlos Ghosn following his arrest in Japan in late 2018 for alleged financial misconduct.
