Career

Occupation: business executive.4

Filosa began his career in 1999 at Fiat, holding various positions in Europe (including Spain) and South America. From 2005, he focused on Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) operations in South America, becoming chief operating officer for the region in 2018. He retained this role after the merger of FCA with PSA to form Stellantis in 2021.

In November 2023, Filosa was appointed CEO of the Jeep brand, replacing Christian Meunier. His mandate included reversing declining sales, particularly in the North American market, where Stellantis had lost market share. As of 2025 Jeep sales have been in decline since 2019.

On May 28, 2025, Filosa was named CEO of Stellantis, succeeding Carlos Tavares, whose departure followed a profit and sales decline in 2024. His appointment was seen as a strategic move to restore confidence and revitalize the company's strategy under the chairmanship of John Elkann.
