Artisan of the operational transition with the general manager Luca de Meo, after the disgrace of Carlos Ghosn, Clotilde Delbos was chief financial officer of Renault between 2016 and 2022, a period of turmoil and restructuring for the manufacturer.
Acting Managing Director from October 2019, after Thierry Bolloré’s own interim, Deputy Managing Director from 2020, this figure in Renault’s recent history has been driving Mobilize, a brand called to play an increasing role within Renault.
“I believe (…) to have made my contribution to the recovery of the group”, declared Clotilde Delbos quoted in a press release. “Renault is now positioned at the forefront of the automotive industry and I am convinced that Mobilize and its teams will spearhead this.”
