Antonio Filosa, 51, has taken over as CEO of Stellantis, a multinational automaker that owns Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Fiat, and more. In his first move as CEO, Filosa has announced his focus on the American sector, maintaining oversight of North American operations while leading the company globally.
Filosa is succeeding Carlos Tavares, who resigned in late 2024 amidst criticism from United Auto Workers and North American dealers over his leadership style. The new CEO has received positive marks from dealers who feel he is more attuned to their market needs.
As part of his strategy, Filosa will work remotely from Detroit, which he shares with his family. This move aims to mend some wounds from the Tavares era and demonstrate his commitment to stability in the company.
Filosa’s leadership team consists mainly of experienced executives within the company, who have spent decades working for Stellantis’ affiliated brands. The team is expected to drive growth and improve profitability in North America, particularly through aggressive marketing moves for Jeep and Ram.
The appointment of a new CEO marks a significant shift for Stellantis, which has struggled with profits and reputation under Tavares’ leadership. With Filosa at the helm, the company hopes to reemerge as a major player in the automotive industry.
