Pelata becomes Ghosns No 2


PARIS -- Renault has appointed Patrick Pelata chief operating officer, giving him responsibility for the French carmaker's day-to-day operations.
The appointment will free Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn to concentrate on the French carmaker's strategic decision-making, as well as finance and public affairs activities.
In the newly-created post, Pelata, 53, will have authority over all members of Renault's executive committee, as well as the leaders of its various regional management groups.
At Nissan, Ghosn appointed Toshiyuki Shiga in 2005 to hold a similar chief operating officer post to the one Pelata will assume October 13.
Pelata's promotion is the latest step up the corporate ladder for the 24-year Renault veteran
