Stellantis names Italian car executive Antonio Filosa its new CEO
- Stellantis appointed Antonio Filosa, an Italian who leads its North American operations, as CEO starting June 23, 2025, succeeding Carlos Tavares, who stepped down last December.
- Filosa’s appointment followed a board search for a global leader with over 25 years of automotive experience to address the company’s recent sharp profit and sales declines.
- Filosa, aged 51, has worked mostly outside Italy, holding top roles in Latin America and as Stellantis’ North American chief operating officer since October 2024.
- Stellantis suffered a 70% net profit drop and burned around 6 billion euros in 2024, with analysts urging a focus on streamlining its 14-brand portfolio amid stiff global competition.
- Filosa will need to restore dealer and government relations and guide Stellantis through industry challenges, with stakeholders calling him a “natural choice” for revitalizing the firm.
