(photo source: Renault official website) according to foreign media reports, Jean Dominique senard, Renault's chairman, told a German newspaper that the company would soon draw up a list of CEO candidates, but they are not in a hurry to complete the work at present. Since the arrest of Carlos Ghosn, the former head of the Renault alliance, the two automakers have been trying to repair the partnership. Nissan appointed a new chief executive last month, and a few days later Thierry bollore, Renault's chief executive appointed by Ghosn, was fired. It is reported that the relationship between bollore and ghorn was very close, but the relationship with hiroren nishigawa, the former CEO of Nissan, was quite tense. "It would be better if we were able to decide by the end of the year," he told German media. If not, it's not bad. " He also praised Clotilde delbos, Renault's chief financial officer and interim CEO, for his work. The appointment of a new CEO will help Renault put an end to nearly a year of turmoil and restore its cooperation with Nissan. The two automakers have worked closely together, and are even expected to achieve a full merger. Sanard did not rule out Renault reducing its stake in Nissan, which he said had long been requested. Renault currently owns 43% of Nissan. "Nothing is ever the same, and a reduction in the number of shares is bound to make sense." On July 17, Bruno le Maire, France's finance minister, said Renault was currently looking for a new CEO, who personally preferred to choose a professional in the auto industry.
