FORTUNE's annual ranking of America's leading businesswomen

Rank: 40 (2004 rank: New to the list)
Renault
France
Senior Vice President
|
| With the arrival of Carlos Ghosn as Renault's CEO, Caubet received a promotion, moving from head of sales and marketing in France to the same job for all of Europe. That more than doubled the sales she's responsible for, to $32 billion, and made her the most senior female auto executive in Europe. Renault is hoping that Caubet, 54, can duplicate the success she had in France, where she upped market share by 4%, in the rest of Europe. |
