Carlos Ghosn of Nissan/Renault: Look Ahead, Dont Stand Still

September 3rd, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

Carlos Ghosn, chairman and CEO, Nissan-Renault Alliance, has the distinction of running two major global automakers, Nissan and Renault, with headquarters on two continents. He is no stranger to the global lifestyle, having been born to Lebanese parents, but growing up in Brazil, before spending much of his early career in the United States. In this talk, he discusses the different challenges each company faces, and how he adapts his leadership to the strategic and cultural contexts. He also discusses trends in the global auto market, and his vision for zero emission vehicles (electric), which he believes will represent an important (and profitable) market segment in the coming decade.

    amazing i wish i could have been there in person. and dan he is the CEO of two car companies do you really think he doesn’t know about different kinds of hybrids or that light weight cars that are more aerodynamic are more fuel efficient

    he has a lot of really good views, much more sound mind than I think many other car company CEOs. quite impressive that he took the rational road and went with electric drive because that’s what’s in the cards because of peak oil and global warming. interesting though he seems unaware of the distinction between prius like hybrid and plugin hybrid which are hugely different.
    and he doesn’t seem to appreciate the enormous potential in weight reduction and aerodynamic improvements.
