Today, Stellantis revealed that Antonio Filosa, its North American chief, will assume the role of CEO starting June 23. Before this appointment, Filosa had been leading Stellantis operations in both North and South America.
The leadership reshuffle follows the departure of Carlos Tavares, who stepped down from his role as CEO in December.
According to a Stellantis press release, Filosa was chosen for the role due to the “depth and span of his experience around the world, his unrivalled knowledge of the Company and his recognized leadership qualities.”
Filosa’s primary responsibilities include boosting the company’s share performance while managing the turbulent trade war in the automotive and auto parts sectors.
Stellantis Executive Chairman John Elkann told investors, “Antonio’s deep understanding of our Company, including its people who he views as our core strength, and of our industry equip him perfectly for the role of Chief Executive Officer in this next and crucial phase of Stellantis’ development.”
Antonio Filosa commented, “I have always been inspired by the immense talent, passion and commitment of our people at Stellantis and the power of trusting our teams to achieve excellence. We have the world’s best and most iconic brands in automotive history and an over 100-year heritage of innovation. That legacy, combined with our relentless dedication to giving our customers the products and services they love, will continue to be key to our success.”
