C.E.O. of Stellantis, Owner of Chrysler and Jeep, Resigns

Published On Dec 1, 2024, 3:14 PM

Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares has resigned immediately due to declining profits and poor sales in North America. His departure comes after a record profit last year but recent warnings about reduced operating profits as the company struggles to compete with rivals. The search for a new CEO is underway, and interim management will be overseen by John Elkann, the company's chairman.
