Stellantis Overhauls Top Team, Names New Europe and Manufacturing Leaders

The reshuffle positions the automaker for an early‑2026 strategy update.

Overview

Emanuele Cappellano becomes head of Enlarged Europe and European Brands while retaining leadership of Stellantis Pro One.
Jean‑Philippe Imparato shifts to focus full‑time on Maserati as CEO, reporting to Cappellano.
Francesco Ciancia will rejoin on November 1 as global head of manufacturing, with Arnaud Deboeuf departing that day.
Grégoire Olivier is appointed to lead China and Asia‑Pacific, Herlander Zola takes charge of South America, and Ralph Gilles joins the SLT as global head of design.
