In 1997, she became Deputy Director of the French Foreign Economic Authority. One year later she started working for Lagardere Group’s International Division.

Renault is a part of the Renault-Nissan alliance, established in 1999. This gives the French manufacturer a 44.4 percent stake in Nissan, while the latter owns 15 percent of Renault, but without having the right to vote. Both companies are led by Charlos Ghosn but each of the carmakers has kept its own brand identity.
