Stellantis Shareholders Back New CEO Antonio Filosa

Stellantis has officially confirmed Antonio Filosa as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), following a resounding vote of confidence during the company’s 2025 Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held on July 18 in Amsterdam. Filosa’s appointment to the Board of Directors and as an executive director was approved by an overwhelming 99.2% of shareholders in attendance.

The vote marks a major milestone for Stellantis as Filosa, who formally took over the role on June 23, begins to steer the company into its next chapter. Shareholders representing 71.53% of Stellantis’ capital participated in the vote, reflecting strong engagement from the investor community.

The EGM was presided over by Stellantis Chairman John Elkann, who took a moment to publicly praise Filosa’s leadership qualities and track record. Elkann highlighted Filosa’s deep knowledge of the company, extensive global experience, and a people-first approach, noting that the new CEO “has Stellantis in his blood.”

Filosa, who has chosen Auburn Hills, Michigan, as his operational base, has already been making the rounds—visiting company plants and offices around the world. It’s a strong signal that he’s focused on connecting with employees on the ground and understanding local operations firsthand.

Elkann emphasized that Filosa had delivered “surprising results” in every role he’s held within the organization, including key leadership positions across North and South America and global quality management. “He’s fully committed to working with the U.S. government on evolving regulations and trade duties,” Elkann added, underlining Filosa’s proactive approach to policy and strategy.

Looking ahead, all eyes are now on July 24, when Stellantis will announce its first-half financial results. Filosa is expected to lead his first earnings call with analysts—an important step in showcasing his communication style and strategic vision to investors and media.

With his appointment now officially locked in by shareholders, Antonio Filosa is set to lead one of the world’s largest automakers through a critical period of change, as Stellantis pushes deeper into electrification, global expansion, and navigating complex regulatory environments.

The message from shareholders is clear: they trust Filosa to deliver.
