Stellantis dealers pin US turnaround hopes on new CEO

DETROIT (Reuters) -U.S. dealers of Jeep SUVs and Ram pickup trucks are pinning their hopes on new Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa to turn around months of disappointing sales and weakening trust. The 51-year-old Italian national, named on Wednesday to run the global automaker, has already had plenty of facetime with U.S. dealers as chief operating officer of the Americas since December, when Carlos Tavares abruptly quit as CEO. Farrish was the top signature on a letter in September admonishing Tavares for a pricing strategy that retailers complained led to a steep sales decline.
