From politics to automotive
His predecessor and current CEO of Renault Belgium and Luxembourg, Martin Domise, was born in 1989 in Amiens and studied at the ‘Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales’ (HEC) in Paris. Before entering the automotive world not so long ago, in 2018, Domise was a local political representative in the city of Amiens and the Hauts-de-France region.
With this political background, Domise is charged with managing relationships with the French Senate and local authorities at Renault’s Public Affairs department. A year later, in 2019, he became Executive Secretary of Renault’s Operational Director Europe.
In 2021, he transferred inside the company to Renault Retail Group, where he became Director of the Paris Hub and also Director of Transformation. Since September 2022, Domise has been appointed Director of Renault Brand and Director of Renault Belgium and Luxembourg.
