Following Nissan’s management shake-up last week, two senior Nissan and Renault executives are to swap companies.


From 1 April, Bernard Rey, currently senior vice president, CEO office, at Nissan Motor will replace Philippe Klein, as senior vice president, Renault CEO office, and become a member of the management committee. He will report to Carlos Ghosn.


On the same date, Klein will take a new position at Nissan Motor in Tokyo.


Rey joined Renault in 1969 and has spent most of his career in purchasing after moving there in 1980. In 1998 he was appointed international purchasing director for the group.


In 1999 he joined Nissan as vice president in charge of the purchasing strategy department. He moved to his current post with the Japanese automaker in April 2004.
