Stellantis seeks new CEO after Tavares steps down

European automaker Stellantis said the process is underway to find a new chief executive following the sudden resignation of Carlos Tavares on Sunday as “different views” arose between the board and CEO.

The company, which has significant operations in the US, expects to name a new CEO in the first half of 2025. Until then, an interim executive committee led by Board Chair John Elkann is at the helm.
