The announcement builds on internal organisational changes outlined earlier in February 2025. The revised structure reflects a clear focus on decentralising product decisions and placing them closer to regional markets where Stellantis holds considerable experience and market understanding.

As part of the new Stellantis Leadership Team (SLT), Filosa will continue to oversee the North American region and American brands. Doug Ostermann remains Chief Financial Officer, with added responsibilities for mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures. Jean-Philippe Imparato will continue to head Enlarged Europe and European brands, and will now also manage the Maserati brand.

Emanuele Cappellano joins the SLT as the head of South America and will additionally lead the Stellantis Pro One division, which focuses on commercial vehicles. Philippe de Rovira has been appointed to head the "Rest of World" operations, while also maintaining oversight of Stellantis Financial Services.
