PARIS -- A mix of executives from Fiat Chrysler and PSA Group have been named to lead Stellantis, the new automotive giant created from the merger of the two automakers, in four major organizational levels, with PSA veterans having the numerical edge.
Under CEO Carlos Tavares, top cross-company positions announced Tuesday include Richard Palmer as CFO, the same post he held at FCA; Maxime Picat, head of Europe for PSA, as chief operating officer for an “enlarged” Europe region; Michelle Wen of PSA as head of purchasing and supply chain; and Arnaud Deboeuf of PSA as head of manufacturing.
