Stellantis CFO Doug Ostermann Takes Helm Of Financial Services Unit

Stellantis is making a key leadership move that ties its financial operations closer to its customer-focused services. Doug Ostermann, the automaker’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO), has officially taken on an additional role as head of Stellantis Financial Services (SFS), the company’s in-house financing arm.

SFS is responsible for providing financing solutions for buyers across all Stellantis brands, including Chrysler, Dodge, FIAT, Jeep®, and Ram. This move places Ostermann at the center of both the company’s global finances and its consumer credit operations.

In a LinkedIn post announcing his expanded responsibilities, Ostermann highlighted the importance of Stellantis Financial Services to the company’s growth strategy and customer experience.

“I am excited to share that I am taking responsibility to lead Stellantis Financial Services!” Ostermann wrote. “Not only is it a great business, it is also a powerful enabler of growth and plays a critical role in providing our customers the freedom of choice they deserve, through innovative financing. I am grateful for the incredible work already accomplished by our global teams, and I am eager to continue the journey ahead!”

By combining financial leadership with direct oversight of the consumer finance division, Stellantis aims to strengthen its ability to offer competitive loans, leases, and flexible financing options. For American buyers, that means more tailored options whether purchasing a new Jeep Wrangler, leasing a Dodge Charger, or financing a Ram pickup.

The decision also reflects a broader automotive trend: automakers are increasingly using in-house financing as a profit driver and a way to improve brand loyalty. With Ostermann now wearing two hats, Stellantis looks positioned to leverage its financial services to fuel future sales growth across North America and beyond.
