SHERIDAN, WYOMING – August 3, 2025 – As Stellantis steps into a new chapter of its automotive journey, CEO Antonio Filosa has unveiled a refreshed leadership team that promises to bring the company closer to its customers and further into the future of mobility.

A People-First Philosophy Driving Change
Filosa’s message was direct yet heartfelt: “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.”

Mini Feature Comparison: Why This Leadership Shift Feels DifferentThe Road Ahead
Here’s the table content rewritten as a flowing paragraph in editorial style:
Unlike traditional automotive leadership shake-ups, which often stick to top-down global control, Stellantis' 2025 approach embraces a more decentralized, region-first philosophy. Instead of pushing decisions from the corporate center, the company is empowering its regional leaders to tailor strategies to local markets. Where legacy carmakers typically fixate on product specs, Stellantis is shifting the spotlight to lifestyle relevance and the real-world needs of consumers. The old, static corporate structures are being replaced by agile, brand-conscious leadership that understands both heritage and innovation. And rather than being held back by slow-moving processes, Stellantis is fueling progress with an entrepreneurial mindset, focused on speed, creativity, and emotional resonance with drivers.
For a company with brands as diverse as Fiat, Ram, Citroën, and Maserati, change must be both strategic and soulful. Filosa’s first move as CEO isn’t just about who sits where—it’s about making sure Stellantis stays in motion, innovates with purpose, and connects more meaningfully with the people behind the wheel.
