In this new role, Fabrice will oversee both the Renault and Dacia brands, aligning their strategies to maximize revenue across global markets. By unifying the approach of both brands, Renault Group will capitalize on their distinct identities while maintaining a brand-based structure at the National Sales Company (NSC) level.
Fabrice will also take charge of Renault Group’s international growth, with key markets being prioritized in India, Latin America, and South Korea. Furthermore, he will be responsible for delivering a seamless customer experience across all touchpoints, including digital platforms, marketing, dealer networks, after-sales services, and Group-owned retail, in close collaboration with financial services.

Philippe succeeds Philippe Krief, who will continue as CEO of Alpine, focusing on shaping the brand’s future and product lineup. Anthony Plouvier, previously VP of Procurement Strategy and Transformation, has been appointed Chief Procurement Officer, succeeding François Provost. He will join the Leadership Team.
