Stellantis overhauls leadership, including in North America and Europe

Stellantis NV on Thursday announced a leadership overhaul amid recent financial and sales struggles, including new chief operating officers for North America and Europe and a new chief financial officer, among other moves.

For North America, Stellantis said current Jeep CEO Antonio Filosa will add chief operating officer for the region to his responsibilities. Filosa, who was already relatively new to the Jeep post, replaces Carlos Zarlenga, who had only taken the COO job at the start of this year. Zarlenga’s next position with the company “will be subject to a further announcement,” the company said.

Doug Ostermann will take over as chief financial officer from Natalie Knight, who is departing the company after joining Stellantis in July 2023. Ostermann was previously the company’s China chief operating officer and has other experience in the industry, the carmaker said.

Other moves include Jean Philippe Imparato taking over as chief operating officer for the automaker’s European region, which will come in addition to his duties overseeing Pro One, the Stellantis commercial vehicle division. Uwe Hochgeschurtz, who has had that European role, is leaving the company.

Meanwhile, Gregoire Olivier will take the new opening as China COO while remaining a liaison to Leapmotor, the Chinese automaker that Stellantis has partnered with to produce cheaper electric vehicles.
