May 28 (UPI) -- Stellantis on Wednesday announced that Antonio Filosa, a top executive in the Dutch automaker's Americas branch, will become its next CEO.
A Special Committee of the Board led by Executive Chairman John Elkann unanimously chose Filosa, who served as chief operating officer for the Americas and chief quality officer, to become the company's top executive effective June 23.
"Antonio's deep understanding of our Company, including its people who he views as our core strength, and of our industry equip him perfectly for the role of Chief Executive Officer in this next and crucial phase of Stellantis' development," Elkann said in a statement.
Filosa succeeds Carlos Tavares, who unexpectedly announced in October he would step down in 2026.
