Renault's Long-Term Leader Steps Down: End of an Era at the French Automaker In a move that marks the end of an era at Renault, CEO Luca de Meo has announced that Jean-Dominique Senard will be stepping down from his position in 2027. Senard, a 73-year-old industry veteran, was brought in by the French government in 2018 to stabilize the company following the high-profile arrest of Carlos Ghosn. As the former CEO of Michelin, Senard's leadership was seen as a stabilizing force during a tumultuous period in Renault's history. His departure marks a significant transition for the company, which is expected to shape its future direction under new leadership.
