Stellantis on Monday said it was
simplifying its organization and speeding up processes, giving a
more significant role to regions which will have more decisional
and executive power at a local level as the automaker presses
ahead with a reorganisation it started after former CEO Carlos
Tavares resigned and John Elkann took the helm of the Interim
Executive Committee on December 2.
Under the plan, Stellantis has placed its software and
engineering activities under Chief Technology Officer Ned Curic,
"streamlining the process of bringing to market innovative
products and services for all the brands in all the markets
where the Company operates", the carmaker said in a statement.
The head of North American operations Antonio Filosa has taken
on the additional leadership of the Quality department while Bob
Broderdorf will head the Jeep brand.
Alain Favey was appointed as head of the group's Peugeot brand.
Stellantis Chairman John Elkann commented on the new
organization saying that "today's announcements will further
simplify our organization and increase our local agility and
rigor of execution.
"We look forward to driving growth by providing our customers
with an even larger choice of great combustion, hybrid and
electric vehicles", Elkann was quoted as saying in the
statement.
As announced in early December 2024, the process to appoint the
new permanent Chief Executive Officer is well under way, managed
by a Special Committee of the Board of Directors, and will be
completed within the first half of 2025, the company said.
