Antonio Filosa, the main responsible for creating and directing Stellantis in South America, has been promoted to Jeep world’s CEO, replacing Christian Meunier, who will focus on personal interests.
Stellantis’ South American operation will be commanded by Emanuele Cappellano, who knows the region well. He was the company’s Chief Financial Officer in South America from 2017 through 2021 and, since 2021, was North America CEO and Corporate and Strategy Director of the Marcolin Group.
“I want to warmly thank Christian and Carl for their commitment and contribution to make Stellantis the leading company it is today”, said Stellantis’s CEO, Carlos Tavares, who also named Ashwani Muppasani, current national sales head in China, Stellantis’ Chief Operating Officer in India and Asia-Pacific, replacing Carl Smiley.
“I have every confidence that Emanuele and Ashwani, as newly appointed EVPs, as well as Antonio in his new Jeep Brand CEO role, will continue the paths traced by their predecessors and further drive Stellantis to win during this time of profound change in our sector.”
Born in Italy, Filosa took the lead of FCA, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, in Latin America in 2018, after two years as general director in Argentina.
His career in the group began much earlier. He joined Fiat in 1999 and accumulated extensive international experience in manufacturing, purchasing, product, marketing and project management.
His first experience in the region began in 2006 when he occupied the internal logistics, strategic planning and purchases posts at Fiat’s plant in Betim, MG. He was later named manufacturing associate director and purchases director for Latin America.
With the creation of Stellantis in 2021, he took charge of structuring the fusion and synergies between FCA and PSA in Latin America. Since then, the company – uniting the brands Fiat, Jeep, Peugeot, Citroën and RAM – has led the Brazilian and South American markets with almost one-third of the market sales.
