Renault SA Chief Executive Officer Carlos Ghosn will lose his second-in-command after Patrick Pelata resigned, bowing to pressure from the French government to take responsibility for a botched espionage probe.
Pelata will stay on temporarily as chief operating officer before moving to a role within the carmaker’s alliance with Nissan Motor Co. Ltd., the Boulogne-Billancourt, France-based company said late yesterday. Four other executives directly involved in the flawed internal probe will also leave.
