Stellantis' new CEO, Antonio Filosa, assumes his role amid significant challenges. He succeeds Carlos Tavares, whose tenure saw declining sales and strained relationships with dealers and employees. Filosa, a 25-year Stellantis veteran, is tasked with revitalizing US market performance, streamlining the brand portfolio, and mending damaged relationships. While praised for his engagement and understanding of the business, his relative lack of experience in high-profile roles presents a challenge. His appointment is considered a 'safe' internal choice, though some investors hoped for an outside hire.
