About

She is notable for taking control of Renault after the unusual circumstances in which two of her predecessors were forced out of the French automobile company. Her immediate predecessor Thierry Bolloré was ousted in a coup and his predecessor Carlos Ghosn was detained in Japan.

Her rise to the top echelons of Renault after the ouster of her predecessor Thierry Bolloré, was described as nothing short of a business coup by the BBC, and a major turning point in the relationship between the two corporate automobile giants Renault and Nissan.
