Antonio Filosa Unveils New Stellantis Leadership Team on First Day as CEO

Antonio Filosa has assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer of Stellantis N.V. and announced a new leadership team structure, effective immediately.

Filosa retains his previous role as head of North America and American Brands alongside his CEO responsibilities. The leadership restructuring builds on organizational changes announced by the company in February 2025.

“It is my great privilege to take the lead of Stellantis, a global company with deep regional roots,” Filosa said. “We have unique strengths in our great people, our iconic brands and our millions of customers.”

New Leadership Structure

The Stellantis Leadership Team (SLT) includes 13 members:

Regional Leadership:

Functional Leadership

  • Doug Ostermann: CFO with added responsibility for mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures
  • Davide Mele: Head of Product Planning
  • Ned Curic: Head of Product Development & Technology
  • Sébastien Jacquet: Head of Quality (appointed earlier this month)
  • Monica Genovese: Head of Purchasing
  • Scott Thiele: Head of Supply Chain (newly created role)
  • Arnaud Deboeuf: Head of Manufacturing
  • Xavier Chéreau: Head of Human Resources and Sustainability
  • Clara Ingen-Housz: Head of Corporate Affairs & Communications

Additional Direct Reports

Four executives will report directly to the CEO outside the main leadership team:

  • Ralph Gilles: Head of Design
  • Olivier Francois: Head of Marketing
  • Alison Jones: Head of Parts & Services and Circular Economy
  • Giorgio Fossati: General Counsel

Richard Palmer will continue as a strategic advisor to the company.

Executive Changes

The announcement follows the departure of Maxime Picat and Béatrice Foucher from the company. Filosa thanked both executives for their contributions during their tenure at Stellantis.

The new structure places product decision-making closer to regional operations, according to the company. Thiele’s appointment to the newly created Supply Chain role consolidates activities previously located in Planning and Manufacturing divisions.

Stellantis N.V. operates as a global automaker with brands including Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Citroën, Dodge, DS Automobiles, FIAT, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, Opel, Peugeot, Ram, and Vauxhall. The company also operates Free2move and Leasys mobility services.

Cappellano’s expanded role includes oversight of Stellantis Pro One, the company’s commercial vehicles business unit, in addition to his South America regional responsibilities.
