After four tumultuous years at the helm of Stellantis, Carlos Tavares unexpectedly stepped down last December, despite having another year left on his contract. The company took about six months to find a replacement, ultimately appointing Antonio Filosa late last month to lead the automotive conglomerate and its 14 car brands. Born in Naples, the Italian executive is taking on a dual role, retaining his position as head of North America and American Brands.
