Antonio Filosa officially took over as the new CEO of Stellantis on Monday and presented the new board of the Italian-French-American group.
    In addition to Filosa, who also retains his former role as head of North America and American Brands, the Stellantis Leadership Team (SLT) also features three other Italians.
    They are Davide Mele, the head of Product Planning, Monica Genovese, head of the Sales area, and Emanuele Cappellano, the head for South America and new number one of Stellantis Pro One, the commercial vehicles unit.
    "It is my great privilege to take the lead of Stellantis, a global company with deep regional roots," said Filosa, who has filled a position that had been vacant since Carlos Tavares quit in December.
    "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." Stellantis's brands include Jeep, Peugeot, Fiat, Lancia, Maserati, Alfa Romeo and Chrysler.
