Since the departure of Carlos Tavares, Stellantis has continued to reorganise its activities to adapt to the new challenges of the automotive industry. On 3 February 2025, the automotive group announced adjustments to its organisation chart aimed at strengthening the independence of the regions, speeding up decision-making and improving the implementation of strategies. These changes are part of an objective of simplification and agility to better meet market expectations, particularly in terms of quality and sustainable development.
Major changes to the Stellantis organisation
Stellantis' organisational changes are designed to give the regions more autonomy while maintaining effective coordination at a global level. One of the most significant changes concerns the management of "software" activities, which are now integrated into a Product Development and Technology organisation headed by Ned Curic. The aim of this new structure is to streamline the launch of innovative products for all the Group's brands, including Citroën, in line with customer requirements.
Antonio Filosa, in addition to his role as COO Regions Americas, is now in charge of global quality management, a strategic area for Stellantis whose objective is to ensure an impeccable customer experience.ique pour Stellantis, dont l'objectif est d'assurer une expérience client irréprochable.
Other important changes include appointments at the top of the Group's major brands:
Bob Broderdorf becomes Head of the Jeep® brand.
Alain Favey joins Stellantis and is appointed Chairman of the Peugeot brand.
Xavier Peugeot becomes Head of the DS Automobiles brand.
Anne Abboud is appointed head of the Stellantis Pro One commercial vehicle division.
John Elkann, said: "Following the changes made in December, today's announcements will further simplify our organisation and increase our local agility and rigour of execution. We look forward to driving growth by offering our customers an even wider choice of high quality internal combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles".
Objectives of these changes for Stellantis
This reorganisation aims to increase the Group's agility and its ability to make quick decisions. By giving the regions more autonomy in product, industrial and commercial management, Stellantis hopes to accelerate its development, particularly in key segments such as electric and hybrid vehicles. One of the main objectives of this reorganisation is to improve product quality, a key factor in the rapidly evolving automotive market. In addition, the simplification of the organisation should allow a better response to the challenges of the sector, from increased competition to changing consumer expectations.
For Stellantis, coordination between global and regional functions is becoming a strategic asset, allowing greater flexibility in responding to customer needs while supporting innovation on a global scale. The Group is committed to a more collaborative and focused approach to meeting the technological and environmental challenges of the future.
Stellantis is therefore continuing its transformation to adapt to the demands of the modern market, focusing on greater regional independence and faster decision-making. These changes should enable the Group to improve its responsiveness, enhance the quality of its products and better meet the expectations of an increasingly demanding clientele. In this context, continuous quality improvement is becoming a central element of the Group's strategy in order to maintain a competitive position in the face of the rapid evolution of the automotive industry.
