Stellantis appointed Pablo Di Si chief operating officer of North America and American Brands, effective immediately.

He reports to Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa, who previously oversaw the region alongside his main role.

“North America is critical to Stellantis’ success and the delivery of our FaSTLAne 2030 strategy,” Filosa said.

“Pablo is a proven leader who deeply understands the North America market, our business and the importance of disciplined execution. I have great confidence in what he and the North America team will accomplish together.” 

Di Si has over 25 years of experience across finance, business development, strategy and operations, according to Stellantis. He has held leadership positions with Volkswagen and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and most recently was Stellantis' chief performance officer.

“I’m honored and energized to lead a team that has already done so much to turn around this critical business for our Company,” Di Si said.

“I look forward to working closely with our employees, dealers, suppliers, unions and business partners to accelerate our momentum and grow our North American business.” 

The automaker also announced the following leadership changes:

  • Jon Nelson as North America chief financial officer
  • Gustavo Soloaga replacing Di Si as chief performance officer
  • Alexandre Sorel as CEO of Stellantis Financial Services, in addition to keeping his position as head of financial services for Europe
