Renault Group has named Duncan Minto as Interim Chief Executive Officer of Renault S.A., effective July 15, 2025. Minto, who currently serves as Chief Financial Officer of Renault Group, will lead the company until a permanent CEO is appointed. In June, Luca de Meo stepped down from his role as the CEO of Renault Group after five years.
During this transition, Jean-Dominique Senard will take over as Chairman of Renault s.a.s., the operating entity of the Group. The company confirmed that the search for a new CEO is well underway, and is being led by the Governance and Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors.
Minto, born in 1975 and a graduate of the University of St Andrews in Scotland, has been with Renault Group since 1997. Over nearly three decades, he has held several key positions across finance, investor relations, and regional leadership roles. His past roles include Finance Director of Renault-Nissan Portugal, Managing Director of Renault Ireland, CFO for the Asia-Pacific region, and VP Finance for Group Control Analysis. Most recently, he served as CFO of Dacia and the Alpine brand before being appointed CFO of Renault Group on March 1, 2025.
Renault Group is set to announce its half-year financial results on July 31, 2025.
