Michelin Dies in Boating Accident
Edouard Michelin, the 42-year-old chief executive of the tiremaker bearing his family's name, died in a boating accident off the coast of France last Friday. Considered one of Europe's most influential auto industry figures, Michelin had led a turnaround at the tiremaker that boosted sales and increased spending on tire technology development and increasingly, environmental technology. Michelin, a father of six, became a managing partner of the company at 28 years old and had worked at the company's South Carolina offices before becoming CEO at the age of 36.
