Overview

  • A special committee chaired by Executive Chairman John Elkann unanimously selected Filosa following Carlos Tavares’s December departure
  • Filosa brings 25 years of experience at Fiat Chrysler and Stellantis, having led the Jeep brand globally and served as North America COO and chief quality officer
  • Stellantis withdrew its 2025 financial outlook after reporting a 14% drop in first-quarter revenue and citing uncertainty over President Trump’s auto tariffs
  • The automaker struggles with falling sales, excessive dealer inventories and intensifying competition from Chinese electric-vehicle makers
  • Filosa must streamline Stellantis’s 14-brand portfolio and deliver on targets for fully electric passenger-car sales in Europe and 50% electric sales in the US by 2030
