New Nissan exec to quit over apparent conflict with CEO

Look like a continuing fight between executives appointed from outside who favor the alliance with Renault and Nissan traditionalists who grew up in Nissan and don't want Renault.

Seki emerged as a candidate to become the chief executive after CEO Hiroto Saikawa 

This executive planned on jumping ship the moment they were not selected as the new CEO.

While executives can move quickly, the fact that there is already public knowledge on his next post means this has long been in the making.

Musical chairs in the Japanese Automotive industry. No wonder they have no new ideas.

one off or first of many?

Yeah, this was in the making for a while. There are lot of specific details about the departure for it to be a sudden change.

Seki, a member of Saikawa's "good ole boys" club, was put in a position where he couldn't continue to sabotage the alliance any further, so he is quitting.

He probably believed that he should be CEO based on seniority and not merit!

 Renault's former chief executive Thierry Bollore, who was ousted in October, had sought to flag alleged conflicts of interest and governance problems at the company's Japanese alliance partner Nissan before his departure, Le Monde reported on Monday.

> Citing a letter from Oct. 7 addressed to Nissan's board, of which he was member, France's Le Monde newspaper said Bollore had raised questions over the firm's internal investigation surrounding former alliance boss Carlos Ghosn.

> Bollore said in the letter that he was particularly concerned by the revelation that Nissan had a list of 80 managers implicated in financial dealings similar to the ones attributed to Ghosn.

> In comments sent to Reuters, Nissan spokeswoman Azusa Momose denied there were any irregularities in its internal investigation of Ghosn's affairs, and added that the company had reviewed its processes once again following Bollore's letter.

Renault will have Nissan! Tough luck! Peace!!!
