Renault group today, September 1, 2025, confirmed the appointment of Katrin Adt as CEO of Dacia brand, ending speculation that appeared in the French press just several days ago about the departure of Denis Le Vot.

Denis Le Vot, once seen as a potential successor to Luca de Meo at the helm of the group, is leaving the company after 35 years of activity.

Katrin Adt, with a 26-year experience in the automotive industry working at Daimler and Mercedes-Benz, is taking over the reins of Dacia at a critical time for the brand.

“Her extensive knowledge and expertise in business development will enable us to continue the brand’s momentum and, above all, to tackle the next challenge together: electrifying the product range “à la Dacia,” stated Fabrice Cambolive, Chief Growth Officer of Renault Group.
