Renault Names Katrin Adt Dacia Chief in Leadership Overhaul

The move channels Dacia’s growth under Chief Growth Officer Fabrice Cambolive to speed decisions in a tougher market.

Overview

  • Adt, a former Mercedes and Smart executive, takes over the Dacia brand effective today and joins Renault Group’s Leadership Team.
  • She succeeds Denis Le Vot, who is leaving the company after being seen as a contender for the top job earlier this year.
  • Fabrice Cambolive transitions from leading the Renault brand to a newly created role as Chief Growth Officer, to whom Adt will report.
  • CEO François Provost says the reorganization targets faster execution and closer customer focus as Renault contends with weaker demand and intensifying competition following a profit warning.
  • Dacia is positioned as the group’s affordable-mobility spearhead with expansion such as the Bigster SUV and a push to electrify the lineup “à la Dacia.”
