<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSince the merger, Carlos Tavares has been the driving force behind the creation of Stellantis, but the group's recent difficulties in North America have put pressure on his shoulders. While sales there fell by 18 % in the first half of 2024, the group saw its net profits melt by 48 %, reaching just 5.6 billion euros. Production problems linked to the renewal of certain key models, such as the Ram 1500 pick-up and the Peugeot 3008 SUV, exacerbated the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
John Elkann, Chairman of Stellantis and an influential member of the Board of Directors, is concerned about the decline in sales performance, particularly in North America, a strategic region for the Group. Although Carlos Tavares has acknowledged a period of \"very bumpy transition\", Elkann has reportedly begun to look ahead to the post-Tavares era, seeking a new leader capable of righting the ship in an increasingly competitive environment. While Carlos Tavares' term of office expires in 2026, there is speculation that it could end as early as 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Candidates in the running<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The succession process has therefore been launched, and several candidates with diverse profiles have emerged as potential successors to Carlos Tavares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jean-Philippe Imparato: the PSA veteran<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/jean-philippe-imparato-alfa-romeo-1024x683.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nJean-Philippe Imparato, current Managing Director of Alfa Romeo, is a veteran of the PSA Group. With a career spanning more than 30 years within the group, he rose through the ranks at Peugeot and Citro\u00ebn before being appointed to head the cloverleaf brand in 2021. Imparato has demonstrated his ability to manage brands under pressure and adapt their strategy to global challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, his close ties with PSA, reminiscent of those of Carlos Tavares, could pose a problem. Some Stellantis shareholders may want to turn the page on the PSA duo and breathe new life into management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Olivier Fran\u00e7ois: the master of marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.italpassion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/olivier-francois-fiat-500-1024x683.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOlivier Fran\u00e7ois is another strong candidate for the position. Currently CEO of Fiat and Abarth, he has successfully managed brands as diverse as Chrysler, Fiat, and recently took the reins of DS Automobiles, while remaining a key strategist within Stellantis as Chief Marketing Officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Olivier Fran\u00e7ois has the distinction of having successfully navigated the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) world before the merger with PSA, contributing marketing campaigns such as those for the Super Bowl for Chrysler, Jeep and Fiat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His knowledge of the American market, where he headed Chrysler for several years, could make him a reassuring compromise choice for boosting sales in North America. However, Olivier Fran\u00e7ois is above all a \"marketer\", which could be a hindrance in the face of the industrial challenges facing the group today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An imminent decision by the Stellantis Board of Directors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A key Stellantis board meeting will take place in early October at the company's US headquarters in Auburn Hills, near Detroit. The question of Carlos Tavares' succession is likely to be addressed, although it is not yet clear who will take over.no final decision is expected for several months.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Board is currently chaired by John Elkann, with Robert Peugeot as non-executive Vice-Chairman, and a mix of executives from PSA and FCA. The fact that John Elkann and Carlos Tavares are the only executive members of the board illustrates their weight in future strategic decisions. However, the Chairman's growing dissatisfaction with Stellantis' US performance could precipitate a decision in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\nName<\/th> Status<\/th> Nationality<\/th><\/tr><\/thead> John Elkann<\/td> Executive Chairman<\/td> Italian<\/td><\/tr> Carlos Tavares<\/td> CEO<\/td> Portuguese<\/td><\/tr> Robert Peugeot<\/td> Non-executive Vice-President<\/td> French<\/td><\/tr> Henri de Castries<\/td> Senior Independent Director<\/td> French<\/td><\/tr> Fiona Clare Cicconi<\/td> Non-executive Vice-President<\/td> English \/ Italian<\/td><\/tr> Nicolas Dufourcq<\/td> Non-executive Vice-President<\/td> French<\/td><\/tr> Ann Frances Godbehere<\/td> Non-executive Vice-President<\/td> Canadian \/ English<\/td><\/tr> Wan Ling Martello<\/td> Non-executive Vice-President<\/td> American<\/td><\/tr> Claudia Parzani<\/td> Non-executive Vice-President<\/td> Italian<\/td><\/tr> Beno\u00eet Ribadeau-Dumas<\/td> Non-executive Vice-President<\/td> French<\/td><\/tr> Jacques Saint-Exup\u00e9ry<\/td> Non-executive Vice-President<\/td> French<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe search for Carlos Tavares' successor reflects the Group's determination to prepare for the future with care. Jean-Philippe Imparato and Olivier Fran\u00e7ois stand out as the main candidates, each with distinct strengths and backgrounds. Unless the candidate comes from the outside.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34727,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_sitemap_exclude":false,"_sitemap_priority":"","_sitemap_frequency":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34726","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-stellantis","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOlivier Fran\u00e7ois is another strong candidate for the position. Currently CEO of Fiat and Abarth, he has successfully managed brands as diverse as Chrysler, Fiat, and recently took the reins of DS Automobiles, while remaining a key strategist within Stellantis as Chief Marketing Officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Olivier Fran\u00e7ois has the distinction of having successfully navigated the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) world before the merger with PSA, contributing marketing campaigns such as those for the Super Bowl for Chrysler, Jeep and Fiat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His knowledge of the American market, where he headed Chrysler for several years, could make him a reassuring compromise choice for boosting sales in North America. However, Olivier Fran\u00e7ois is above all a \"marketer\", which could be a hindrance in the face of the industrial challenges facing the group today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An imminent decision by the Stellantis Board of Directors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A key Stellantis board meeting will take place in early October at the company's US headquarters in Auburn Hills, near Detroit. The question of Carlos Tavares' succession is likely to be addressed, although it is not yet clear who will take over.no final decision is expected for several months.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Board is currently chaired by John Elkann, with Robert Peugeot as non-executive Vice-Chairman, and a mix of executives from PSA and FCA. The fact that John Elkann and Carlos Tavares are the only executive members of the board illustrates their weight in future strategic decisions. However, the Chairman's growing dissatisfaction with Stellantis' US performance could precipitate a decision in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The search for Carlos Tavares' successor reflects the Group's determination to prepare for the future with care. Jean-Philippe Imparato and Olivier Fran\u00e7ois stand out as the main candidates, each with distinct strengths and backgrounds.
