TLDR
Antonio Filosa became Stellantis CEO on June 23, 2025, inheriting a company with profits down 70% to €5.5 billion and eroding North American market share. The 25-year company veteran’s appointment signals a shift from aggressive cost-cutting to collaborative leadership, though investors remain skeptical about the insider choice amid mounting challenges including potential 75% earnings impact from Trump tariffs.
Stellantis needed a savior, not just a successor. When Antonio Filosa officially took the reins as CEO, he inherited a company hemorrhaging profits faster than a punctured radiator. The numbers paint a brutal picture: 2024 profits collapsed 70% to €5.5 billion, while North American revenues—the company’s traditional cash cow—plummeted 48% in just six months.
