Renault SA is poised to oust Chief Executive Officer Thierry Bollore just days after partner Nissan Motor Co. chose a new CEO, a sign the carmakers are working in sync to move past the Carlos Ghosn era and repair their troubled alliance.

Renault’s board is expected to name Chief Financial Officer Clotilde Delbos, 52, interim CEO at a meeting Friday, said a person familiar with the matter, asking not to be identified discussing confidential information. Bollore, who faces a board vote, served as Ghosn’s No. 2 before taking the helm in January.
