The mood inside Stellantis's North American division has changed dramatically since former CEO Carlos Tavares unexpectedly stepped down on December 1, with dealers and employees feeling optimistic about the swift actions taken by the new interim executive committee.
Chairman John Elkann, alongside his advisory committee, has vowed to rebuild trust with key stakeholders, promptly re-hiring a longtime Dodge and Ram executive and reinstating a US sales chief who was previously shifted into a different role.
During a town hall, Elkann announced the end of Tavares's 'Project Darwin,' which involved ruthless cost-cutting, and reassured employees that Stellantis 'will survive,' marking a significant shift in morale.
Comments from employees indicated that the swift changes implemented by Elkann's team have been celebrated by disgruntled dealers, reflecting a renewed sense of hope within the organization after Tavares's departure.
