Here’s what Stellantis have to say about the appointment of Antonio Filosa:

Stellantis N.V. (the “Company”)  announces that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has unanimously  selected Antonio Filosa as its new Chief Executive Officer following  a thorough search process of internal and external candidates,  undertaken by a Special Committee of the Board, led by Executive  Chairman John Elkann. 

The Company will now hold an Extraordinary Shareholder Meeting,  which will be called in the coming days, for Antonio Filosa to be  elected to the Board to serve as an executive director of the  Company. Meanwhile, to give him full authority and ensure an  efficient transition, the Board has granted him CEO powers effective  June 23. 

The Board selected Antonio Filosa to be CEO based on his proven  track record of hands-on success during his more than 25 years in  the automotive industry, the depth and span of his experience  around the world, his unrivalled knowledge of the Company and his  recognized leadership qualities. 

Antonio Filosa has led Stellantis in both North and South  America. During his time as Chief Operating Officer of South  America, he took the FIAT brand to the market leading position and  then significantly grew the Peugeot, Citroën, Ram and Jeep_® brands.  As a result, Stellantis increased its clear leadership in the region. His  work on the creation of the Pernambuco plant, one of South  America’s largest automotive hubs, launched Jeep_® in Brazil, which  quickly became the brand’s leading market outside of the United  States.

As Jeep_® CEO, Antonio Filosa expanded the brand’s global presence,  including in Europe where its models continue to be best sellers for  the Company thanks to hugely popular products such as the Jeep  Avenger. He was most recently promoted to the role of Chief  Operating Officer, Americas in December 2024. Since his  appointment, he has initiated the strengthening of the U.S.  operations, including by significantly reducing excessive dealer  inventory, reorganizing the leadership team, driving the process of  introducing new products and powertrains and increasing dialogue  with dealers, unions and suppliers. 

John Elkann will continue in his role as Executive Chairman when  Antonio Filosa takes up his position as Chief Executive Officer on  June 23. At that time, Antonio Filosa will also announce Stellantis’ new leadership team. 

 

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,” said Stellantis Executive  Chairman John Elkann. “I have worked closely with Antonio over the  past six months during which time his responsibilities have  increased and his strong and effective leadership spanning both  North and South America at a moment of unprecedented challenge  have confirmed the excellent qualities he brings to the role. Together  with the entire Board, I look forward to working with him.

 

We unanimously welcome Antonio’s appointment as our new Chief  Executive Officer,” added Stellantis Vice Chairman Robert Peugeot.  “His track record of successful leadership during his many years with  our Company speaks for itself and this, together with his deep  knowledge of our business and of the complex dynamics facing our  industry, make him the natural choice to become Stellantis’ next  CEO.

 

The appointment of Antonio Filosa to lead Stellantis opens a new  and important chapter for our Company,” said Nicolas Dufourcq,  CEO of the Banque Publique d’Investissement (Bpifrance). “At a  moment of transformation for the global automotive industry,  Antonio Filosa has the knowledge, the experience and the talent to  lead Stellantis to new successes.

 

It is my great honor to be named the CEO of this fantastic  Company,” said Antonio Filosa. “I am grateful to our Chairman, John  Elkann and to the members of our Board for their leadership,  particularly in these recent months and for the confidence they have  placed in me to lead our business during this pivotal time for our  industry. 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.
