TOKYO (Reuters) — Nissan’s Chief Operating Officer Ashwani Gupta will not be reappointed to the board when his term expires next month, the automaker said on Friday, casting doubt on the future of the high-profile executive who had been seen in the running for CEO.
The departure from the board of directors of the former longtime Renault executive comes as Nissan is working to finalize the terms of a sweeping reset of its decades-old alliance with the French carmaker by midyear.
