The reshuffled leadership builds on changes first outlined in February 2025, matching Stellantis’ strategy of making product decisions within the regions where they will be seen. The structure is designed to tap into local knowledge while maintaining a strong connection to the company’s brand heritage and customer base worldwide.

“It is my great privilege to take the lead of Stellantis, a global company with deep regional roots. We have unique strengths in our great people, our iconic brands and our millions of customers, whose loyalty to our Company, its fantastic products and its unique stories can only inspire us to new achievements. The team I’m announcing today draws on all that is best in Stellantis, leaders from within who bring a people-first mindset, a profound understanding of our brands, our products and our customers, best-in-class expertise and an entrepreneurial spirit that will be vital to our success. We all share an immense pride in our history and a constant dedication to building our future together, and in close collaboration with our dealers, suppliers, partners and communities. With the talent and passion of this team, we will harness our multiple strengths to make Stellantis one of the winners in this next era for our Company and our industry.”
