Renault CEO Luca de Meo unexpectedly steps down
Luca de Meo is stepping down as Renault Group's CEO after a five-year run that saw him shake things up with the "Renaulution" plan—think more electric cars and premium models. He'll officially leave on July 15, reportedly heading to new adventures outside the car world with Kering.

De Meo didn't just keep Renault afloat—he helped turn it around. He expanded their lineup, reworked the partnership with Nissan, and launched an electric vehicle joint venture. Thanks to his vision, Renault is in a much stronger spot today and he's earned real respect across the industry.
