(Bloomberg) -- The quintessential “Davos Man” executive is prepared to lay down a welcome mat alongside Air Force One.
“The more people participate -- particularly people with a high power level -- the more interesting it is, the more it gives meaning to Davos,” Carlos Ghosn, the chairman of automakers Renault SA, Nissan Motor Co. and Mitsubishi Motors Corp., said in a Bloomberg Television interview Tuesday. “So I welcome this opportunity to hear from the president.”
The White House announced Tuesday that President Donald Trump plans to attend the World Economic Forum later this month. Ghosn, 63, is a regular at the annual meeting of financial and economic elite in Davos, Switzerland. Born in Brazil, raised in Lebanon, and educated in France, Bloomberg Businessweek profiled him as a staunch and vocal defender of globalization in July.
