ROME (Reuters) -Automaker Stellantis is about to appoint Italian manager Antonio Filosa as its new chief executive, the Corriere della Sera daily reported on Wednesday.
According to the daily, which cited unspecified rumours, the company’s board is due to meet in the coming hours to approve the nomination.
The new CEO would succeed Carlos Tavares, who quit the group in December after a sharp drop in profits and sales, especially in the United States, raised questions about his management.
