Stellantis, the international automaker and parent company of the Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Ram and other brands, has named Antonio Filosa as its new CEO.
The company will officially elect Filosa to the Board of Directors to serve as an executive director of the company later this month and will give him full CEO authority effective June 23.
Filosa joined the Fiat Group in 1999 where he held roles of increasing responsibility, including plant manager of the Betim facility (Brazil) and head of purchasing for the Latin America region. He also served as the head of Argentina from 2016 and as COO for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’ Latin America region from 2018. He was appointed the South America COO for the newly created Stellantis in 2021, became Jeep brand CEO in 2023 and in October 2024 was named North America COO. His responsibilities were increased again in December 2024, when he was appointed COO for both North and South America, and further in January 2025, when he was named chief quality officer.
John Elkann will continue in his role as executive chairman when Antonio Filosa takes up his position as CEO on June 23. At that time, Antonio Filosa will also announce Stellantis’ new leadership team.
Additionally, the company has appointed Sébastien Jacquet as chief quality officer, effective immediately, succeeding Filosa.
Jacquet, who previously served as deputy chief engineering and technology officer and head of cross-car line and project engineering, has almost 25 years of experience in quality, automotive engineering and technology, research and development, and project management, and played a pivotal role in launching the company’s first multi-energy platform, STLA Medium.
