Automaker Stellantis, which includes brands such as Peugeot, Jeep, Fiat, and Opel, lost its CEO in December 2024. Carlos Tavares unexpectedly resigned from his position. Stellantis cited differing views between the CEO and the board as the reason for the resignation; they were unable to agree on how to handle the weak sales figures and the drop in securities on the stock market. It was expected that a new CEO for Stellantis would be found in the first half of 2025 following this personnel change.

The search for a new appointment to this certainly important position in the company is now complete. From external and internal candidates, Antonio Filosa was selected as the new CEO, with his authority being transferred on June 23, 2025.

The manager has been working in the automotive industry for over 25 years and was most recently Chief Operating Officer for the American market. Previously, he led the business in South America, where he helped Fiat achieve market leadership and significantly grew the brands Peugeot, Citroën, Ram, and Jeep. Under his leadership, the plant in Pernambuco was established, contributing to Jeep's market launch in Brazil. As global CEO of Jeep, Filosa also drove the brand's expansion, particularly in Europe. Stellantis emphasizes his extensive international experience and deep knowledge of the company as reasons for his appointment to the top of the corporation. (sb)
