After a nearly 6-month search, Stellantis names former Jeep boss as its new CEO

Stellantis, the fourth-largest global automaker, announced a fresh CEO on Wednesday: company insider Antonio Filosa. Shares were mostly flat on the news.

The move comes nearly six months after the Stellantis board essentially ousted former chief Carlos Tavares amid abysmal US performance. The Jeep and Chrysler maker’s profit plummeted 70% last year and its US sales fell 15%.

Last year wasnt an outlier, though; Stellantis US sales have fallen every year since 2018. At this years Detroit Auto Show, Filosa told reporters that US market share was the companys top priority.

Filosa, who became the head of Jeep in 2023, will officially take the helm June 23, right around when most of the industry plans to end their tariff discounts and start hiking vehicle prices in earnest.
