Renault's Board of Directors has announced that CEO Luca de Meo will take the reins from Jean-Dominique Senard, who has led the French automaker since 2019. Senard, 73, was brought in from Michelin by the French government to stabilize Renault after the high-profile 2018 arrest of Carlos Ghosn, who had been at the helm of the company. During his tenure, Senard oversaw significant restructuring efforts and navigated the company through a period of turmoil. Senard's departure in 2027 marks the end of his five-year term, and it remains to be seen how the company will continue to evolve under new leadership.
