Renault Group strengthens leadership and organisation to accelerate execution

“To meet the challenges ahead, we need an organisation that decides faster, executes smarter and stays closer to our customers. Today’s leadership changes bring together talented executives with deep industry knowledge, strong expertise and, above all, the internal credibility to make a difference,” said François Provost, CEO of Renault Group.

Brand and growth: leveraging synergies to drive expansion

In this position, Fabrice Cambolive will oversee both Renault and Dacia brands, ensuring a unified strategic approach and maximizing revenue across markets. This will allow Renault Group to fully leverage the benefits of each brand’s identity and market positioning, while still maintaining a brand-based organization at a National Sales Company (NSC) level.

Fabrice Cambolive will also lead the Group’s international development, with priority markets being identified in India, Latin America and Korea.

The unique CTO role has been created to accelerate innovation and development execution, and improve coordination with Product Planning, Quality, Procurement, Manufacturing and Supply Chain.
