Carlos Ghosn Says Nissan Wanting Him Back Is Common Sense - Jalopnik

Carlos Ghosn, former Nissan CEO who is living as an international fugitive, told Reuters he is Nissan’s only realistic path to rescue, saying serving merely as an adviser would not be enough. His comments came in response to investor calls for his return after years of failed turnaround efforts, following his ouster in 2018. During Nissan’s annual meeting on Tuesday, CEO Ivan Espinosa faced shareholder anger and at least one investor proposed bringing back Ghosn, but shareholders backed the board overwhelmingly. Ghosn said the situation requires a CEO-level decision-maker and described an “emergency” at Nissan with “tough decisions” needed. He argued he has already done it before and knows the company from every angle. The article notes Reuters coverage and frames the proposal as unlikely.
