Stellantis CEO quits on US sales drop

MILAN/DETROIT — Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares resigned abruptly on Sunday (Monday in Manila), two months after a profit warning at the maker of Jeep, Fiat and Peugeot cars that has lost around 40 percent of its value this year.

The company said it would seek to find a replacement CEO in the first half of 2025. Senior Independent Director Henri de Castries said in a statement that different views emerged in recent weeks among major shareholders, the board and Tavares resulting in the CEO's resignation.
