Stellantis Names Antonio Filosa Its New CEO
Stellantis has appointed Antonio Filosa, the current COO for the Americas and chief quality officer, as its new CEO, effective June 23. This transition returns leadership to Italian hands after Carlos Tavares stepped down last year. Filosa has been with Fiat since 1999 and has extensive experience, especially in Latin America, where he successfully boosted the market share of several brands. The decision to appoint Filosa was unanimous, with praise from John Elkann, chairman, and Robert Peugeot, citing his deep understanding of the company and industry dynamics.
Stellantis has been struggling with the global transition to electric vehicles and faces fierce competition from Chinese automakers.

From a transportation perspective, the challenges facing Stellantis highlight the increasing importance of agility in leadership and innovation in product development. As electric vehicles continue to reshape the automotive landscape, companies must prioritize a robust transition strategy to remain competitive. Leadership transitions can provide fresh perspectives, but they must be coupled with strategic initiatives to streamline diverse brand portfolios and accelerate electric vehicle adoption.
