He is the CEO of two of the world's largest car companies and a veteran of the automotive industry. This evening CNN's Talk Asia meets the Lebanese-Brazilian-French businessman Carlos Ghosn at the Nissan headquarters in Yokohama, Japan.
Nicknamed Le Cost Killer, Ghosn shares with CNN Correspondent Anna Coren how orchestrating the financial turnaround at Nissan in the late 1990s gave him superstar status in Japan, and even resulted in a manga comic being made about him in 2002.
The CEO also discusses how Nissan is recovering from the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, misconceptions about how the Japanese people adapt to change, and his passion for green technology in the motor industry.
