Reporting directly to Dacia CEO Katrin Adt, Gomez succeeds Patrice Lévy Bencheton, who has been appointed director of the light commercial vehicles programme within Renault Group.
“I am very pleased to welcome Sandra Gomez as Dacia vice president for strategy, product and business,” stated Katrin Adt. “Her product expertise, deep knowledge of the group, and experience in strategic transformations will be major assets for the brand’s development and performance.”
A graduate of the Institut National Agronomique Paris-Grignon, Gomez joined Renault Group and the automotive industry in the early 2000s. She possesses extensive professional experience within the group, including significant international assignments covering financial control, product planning, and project management.
Her career began in economic piloting and performance roles before she held several key positions in product planning and vehicle programme management. This included a tenure at Nissan North America, where she contributed to structuring new activities and developing strategic projects for the North American market.
In November 2019, Gomez was appointed Renault Group vice president for partnerships. In this capacity, she supported the implementation of the Renaulution strategic plan by developing an ambitious partnership strategy and securing major collaborations with entities such as Google, Qualcomm, and Verkor. Upon the creation of Ampere on 1 November 2023, she took responsibility for the product plan and EV & software components. In April 2025, her remit expanded to include Ampere strategy, playing a central role in defining future electric vehicles and constructing the strategic trajectory of the entity.
In her new position at Dacia, Gomez is tasked with steering the brand’s strategy and global product performance, overseeing the process from the initial concept phase through to the end of the production lifecycle.
