The Carlos Ghosn era at Nissan is officially over. The Nissan board voted to remove him as chairman, as expected, following his arrest on Monday. His close advisor Greg Kelly was dismissed as well. The BBC reports that the vote was unanimous. More on the Ghosn saga here and here.

Maybe more appropriate sound of Ghosn’s leaving…..
I worked at one time for a CEO that faced jailtime & I know what it’s like to have the whole workforce rooting for jailtime. Nissan deserves better. Kick his office belongings to the curb, wash your hands & move on. Unfortunately, Nissan itself may be on the hook for some of this but I’m sure they’ll fare better than Mr. Ghosn.
Again; Nissan deserves better.
Will never understand how someone at that level of success can’t be grateful for what they have and have to try to game the system… just makes no sense.
And now that he has cut costs and made the company solvent again we can move forward as Toyota and Honda have, with an eye towards the past to guide our future.
I look forward to the next chapter for Nissan and Mitsubishi who can jointly create fun cars that people want to buy while still producing appliances for the average person to put the bottom line in the black.
