A top executive recruited by France’s government to restore stability at Renault following the 2018 detention of its former CEO will leave the company when his contract concludes in 2027. The move comes after his tenure, which began with his arrival from Michelin, helped guide the automaker through a period of leadership transition. His departure marks the end of an era for Renault, raising questions about the company’s next strategic direction. The announcement signals a planned handover rather than an abrupt shift in management.
Senard, 73, was brought in from Michelin by the French government to stabilize Renault after the 2018 arrest of Carlos Ghosn. He will step down when his term ends in 2027.
