Fabrice Cambolive is appointed in a newly created role of Chief Growth Officer, in addition to his role as CEO of Renault brand. He remains a member of the Leadership Team.
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.
He will also be charged with ‘delivering seamless customer experience across digital, marketing, the dealer network, after-sales, Renault Group owned-retail, in close connection with financial services’.

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. Building on his successful tenure in the group, where he ‘notably reinforced electrification (E-Tech technologies), the EV value chain and shortened development timelines with the Twingo and batteries projects, Philippe Brunet will steer the next stage of Renault Group’s engineering transformation’.
He succeeds Philippe Krief, who remains CEO of Alpine and a member of the Leadership Team, fully dedicated to shaping Alpine’s future range and brand development.
