Ousted Stellantis CEO Admits 'Things Could Have Been Done Differently'
- Stellantis appointed Antonio Filosa as CEO in late June 2025 following Carlos Tavares's resignation in December 2024 amid severe financial and market challenges.
- Tavares's costly North American strategy, marked by mispricing core brands and alienating dealers, caused a sharp sales decline and eroded investor confidence.
- Filosa, a 25-year company veteran and former Jeep chief with recent Americas operational leadership, faces the challenge of repairing dealer relations and reviving brands like Chrysler.
- Since the beginning of 2024, Stellantis shares have plummeted by more than 66%, and on the day Antonio Filosa was appointed CEO, the stock declined by over 3%. Additionally, the company pulled its full-year financial outlook amid ongoing uncertainties related to U.S. Tariffs.
- Filosa's success in stabilizing the company may determine whether Stellantis sustains its 14 brands or trims its portfolio amid fierce competition and regulatory pressures.
