Full Interview: Former Renault-Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn | CNBC International 

What a grest interview. Carlos is a genius and clearly states his point. The quality of the journalist also helped a lot to pass a clear message.

Superb interview. Learned about car industry, Lebanon and leadership qualities. It was like a mini masterclass.

this man is national treasure , hope Lebanon goverment can get help from such man he is so smart

We can see a person's character from the way he speaks, his expressions, his body language, etc. Go, Carlos! Prove to the world of your innocent and regain your reputation, which to some people is more valuable than life!

Very smart man. Never got a chance to actually meet him when I worked at Nissan, but saw him many times when he came to visit.

The fact that he is still appearing in interviews only to clear his name even though he is not in danger anymore confirms his innocence from the Japanese charges for me.

Very smart guy and has enough money he never has to do anything unless he wants to.

Fabulous interview! Keeping fighting Carlos :) - We need more of these business leaders!

A great interview. Both of them are outstanding and Carlos speaks to the heart.

Carlos will always be a legend.

That would be fun if this guy was to become Lebanon’s president. Never underestimate the power of loosing face.

I remember joining MWC conference and Carlos Ghosn speaking about the Leaf being the highest selling EV at the time. He was a strong and outspoken EV believer and supporter even as far back as very early 2010s.

one of the best interviews with carlos fantastic the interviewer really totally professional i am impressed i love carlos he is so precise and to the point wunderbar nrilliant

The most inteligent man on the planet

So glad to see that Carlos Ghosn is able to still get his message out to share with the world. What happened to him was a crime. Only a man as smart and as shrewd as Ghosn could've orchestrated his escape from unjust persecution by the Japanese. Carlos - cheers to you! You accomplished so much and I for one am so glad that you are able to live a good life in Lebanon!

Great man. Sounds to me he should be the man to restructure his homeland.

Carlos Ghosn an absolute legend in my books

Great interview, I'm with you Mr. Ghosn!!, by the way, beautiful interviewer!!

Excellent interview. Thank you.

Mr. Ghosn, La mise en examen can also be done at the French embassy in Lebanon in my opinion. The embassy is a French terretory, be careful traveling to France.

I admire him a lot

I believe Japan & France should appreciate what he had achieved to Nissan & Renault.

Great interview and props to Ghosn for taking everything and still having the will to move forward. He is a strong man for speaking openly about these topics

Imagine such a rare brilliant mind being locked in jail for life with hard seasoned criminals simply because he threw a corporate lavish party.

He is guilty of approving the CVT transmissions

Carlos Ghosn realized when he was CEO that the market was moving towards electric power and that Elon Musk was right and Carlos wanted to go all electric with Renault-Nissan but they were affraid of going all electric and got rid of Carlos.

Je suis un algérien et je soutiens profondément Carlos Ghosn !!!

Well, this was a really impressive interview.

I look forward to hearing about the huge lawsuit against Nissan and Renault

Hope the justice will be served to you before too long. You're a courageous and super inspirational business leader. Good luck with you!

Great interview. Carlos i may you a come back in one of the top car companies leading a transition to the elecric Vehicles. I m sorry of what happened to you in Japan...We need administrators like you in my country. I send you good vibes in your fight

I hope, but am sure Carlos has identified the parallel between his treatment by Nissan and that of Octav Botnar, after he challenged their decision to terminate his UK distribution agreement.

Carlos is clearly at his core a civil servant. He is serving the public not exactly himself. He has an aura of employee rather than an emperor. So please people come on! He is not stupid. He wants to be remunarated, financially compensated. It is his right.

Awesome interview. I will have to study his comments. Unicity of command and AI not the end of humanity.

What is the common thing between jose mourinho and Carlos Ghosn ?

Scaping Japan was so clever. He had a clear understanding of Japan. Carlos had fantastic support team around him and that is what I call to be lucky.

Great interview 👏🏻

for people talking about RULE OF LAW, US is strangely silent on this case. This is a clear violation of human rights, respect for human dignity and Code of Conduct of a state.

Why doesn't he go to Brazil? As a Brazilian citizen he can't be extradited according to the constitution. Is it the same in Lebanon?

I really like the interviewer

My Nissan needed a starter replacement, how about that ?

Japan Is like China and Russia, you are guilty at time of arrest and you have to prove your own innocence...what a joke

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength. ⭐

Great intelligent interview.

It’s a difficult conjecture for me. I loved Ghosn for actively supporting and bringing out the GTR. I despised Ghosn for cutting costs for volume cars and making them cheaper built(especially those unreliable CVTs) I loved Ghosn for keeping the leaf project alive(The only better option then). G-Wiz was so unsafe! I despised Ghosn for merging Renault-Nissan with Mitsubishi. Looking back. All the things I loved above have lost money for the alliance. While all the things I despised have kept the companies afloat. Hell, even profitable. We have all seen CEOs do a lot worse and get away with it. Question though is… Let’s say Ghosn did underreport his compensation and that he did buy/use company property and resources for his personal benefit. Does the above outweigh all the things he has done to keep the alliance profitable and stock holders happy? I definitely DO NOT think so…. This is just an Automotive Engineer venting out his frustrations. All opinions are my own and do not reflect the views of the organization(s) I work for.

Everyday this man is not governing or managing something is a waste of his life and a waste to the world. All because of envy from some office politics.

Excellent interview. Very impressed!

Extraordinary interview, i think Argentinian Government, legislative and justice body must listen about central command, wonderful MasterClass

Where is he hiding?

21:35 Great common sense. Well done!

Fascinating interview he has some really interesting insights into the automobile industry

They say about 50 people helped him escape, that means there must have been help at the airports as well ahead of time I'm guessing.

The journalist lost her plot. He said what he did free of complicated questions.

This interview is absolutely epic! Ghosn’s command is seismic. The interviewer is no hack, believe it or not. Her delivery shifts gears faster than a one armed man in a bra factory.

Really not a good interview, not much information with regard to the accusation he is facing. Most of the questions that were asked, had been asked some 10 years ago which have been posted on RU-vid.

Japan is not very democrátic in any sense. And quite racist. Why do you think japanese don't have inmigrants?

That guy is a very smart guy

I can’t forgive you for putting all that CVT in Nissan products.

I wish some of you would show the same compassion for uneducated car robbers.

She seems biased towards Mr. Ghosen

Carlos Ghosn and Greg Kelly are the reason highly educated European and American executive stay away from leadership role in Japan. In this case when you have an genius executive going after the #1 Toyota and the #2 Honda Auto industry in Japan... Shame on France for not fighting for Carlos!

Great interview by Hadley Gamble, allowing Carlos to speak. And the French/Japanese wanted this visionary leader out.........madness.

I would love to take that Gamble to a casino in Monaco

A brilliant mind. The world needs more freedom and justice.

This guy did a 'Catch me if you can' with the Japanese. Guilty or innocent, the legendariness of this man can't be denied.

He nailed it again! Bravo Carlos… (that journalist is HOT! Phew!)

Have they made a movie about his escape?

Good man, didn’t deserve what was, and is being, done to him. Neither Nissan nor Renault deserve our business.

Best analysis of revolutions identified chronologically as agricultural, industrial, informational, to artificial intelligences I’ve ever heard.

the passport story seems implausible

I heard he always carry a suit case🤫😅🤣

Interesting interview. Enjoy listening to Carlos . Well done !

This guy looks like charlie chan in the old hollywood movie

The french ditched him in the first place and that is the main reason this guy finds himself in this situation. The price you pay as an outsider upsetting the existing order.

I didn't know Sunny Balwani used be an Nissan Exec! Excellent experience that he brought to Theranos!

"I diluted Nissan's reputation in pursuit of short term cheap profits. The company was saved but all I did was kick the can down the road." -Ghosn

I haven't read all the comments below. But, I really think that Ghosn-san's decisions and actions were right! It was really good for him and I could say that it was the only way for him to survive from the situation no matter any other people say because I am 100% sure that people who complain about his actions don't understand the real Japan which is nearly invisible from most people including many Japaneses and most foreigners. Needless to say, there are no fair judgements in Japan, and I guess he could have mental disorder if he didn't escape from Japan though I have no idea what was happened to him if he was not a famouse person. I am a Japanese and I have been worked in various global companies in Japan standing between Japan and other countries after I lived in US for 10 years. So, I could tell how much Japan is weired and different from other countries and a terrible country. I can tell that Japan is the furtherst country from the global world ,in short. On the other hand, I understand that there are many chances for foreigners to start or run businesses in Japan. But, I really recommend to make sure they have some ways to leave immediately from Japan if something goes wrong or some mothods to be able to get good supports to get out of troubles in Japan. I really hope that Ghosn-san will get the fair justice soon, and I really hope that he will run some businesses or work in some companies because I could tell that he is very smart person and has all necessary skills as management though I don't know his personality. On the other hand, I am very sorry that not only Ghosn-san but also many smart and skillful people are leaving and left from Japan. I hope I could work outside of Japan in the near future.

What will Korea be hacking here when I go in a few days to a country without PC and Phone

Fascinating story. Good luck Carlos!

It's more that meets the eye in what he says. When CEO of Renault it's true their profit increases by about 60% but not by being better but rather by laying off employees. The other thing he did was he paid the dealers such big bonuses that the dealers were buying the cars themselves without selling any. It's not that rosy with this guy and maybe the Japanese have realized that.

Id like to see Carlos bring this to the ICC. Lets see what happens.

Hadley Gamble and her team gave a master class in how to interview and get the full story.

The truth is, watch Nissan sink slowly, but surely, since he has been gone

could you come back to the USA? Michelin North America was very fortunate to have your leadership!

The smirk on that woman's face.

Good interview, thank you. The comment Mr. Ghosn made about the attitude towards CEO income is, I think, more or less true for all of Europe. It's probably worse in France, yet this attitude exists all over leftish - liberal Europe. I'm convinced it will kill Europe in the end, if we are not killed by all the ridiculous rules from Brussels first! If I was in my thirties I would leave Europe for good!

She certainly did not ask the hard questions

I billion squandered… more money than I could imagine someone spending so im thinking theres a whole team of dudes getting kickbacks. I don’t think they arrested this guy for nothing.

Ms Hadley Gamble, most probably, could do a great movie actress. Speaking on the topic, Carlos Ghosn, no matter how personally greedy he is, he is the one who saved Nissan 20 + years ago. I've lived in Japan from 1998 for about 20 years and have been seeing this development from inside. And comments about Japanese justice system are mostly true. Once you are deteriorating from category of "obedient", then punishments could be really stiff.

The Man deserves credit ...escaping in a box, merging japanese with french companies and now enjoying life in Lebanon.

I herd the guy that helped him escape wanted payment in 10 nissan GTR's r35 smart man.

I am in belgium am guilty until i am proven innocent

We must not forget that this man, CEO of a large company, had an employee contract. Although he had the ability to improve the economic situation of the brand, then of the group he managed, his spending attitude made people think that he owned it, which was in no way the case. He was accountable for every euro spent. This is why he was punished. The rest is just window dressing.

Ms. Gamble did a stellar job in this interview👏!

Did not know that Mischa Tate is working part time as a journalist.

Acharnement = recklessness Sables mouvants= quicksand

This man is a treasure and very genious

Good job Carlos 👏...your movie 🎬 coming soon !!!

I respect Carlos he seems really intelligent, I hope he gets a fear trial

Carlos Ghosn is much happier than Julian Assange.💃
