Effective immediately, Ghosn will temporarily carry out the duties of COO.
Just two weeks ago, Tavares gave some off the cuff remarks to a reporter stating that he didn’t think he would ever run Renault but considered himself more than able to potentially lead General Motors or Ford Motor Company.
Worth noting is a rare typographical error in Renault’s English language media release (attached) issued from Paris, suggesting the announcement had to be made in haste with no time for a proof-read.
