While Antonio Filosa assumed the position this Monday, June 23, at the head of the Stellantis group, happening to Carlos Tavares, announced the new composition of his management team in a press release.
In this same press release, the new CEO also “sincerely thanked Maxime Picat, purchasing director, for his contribution within Stellantis for several years and wished him” the best in his future projects. “
Contacted by BFM Business, Stellantis confirms that former Stellantis purchase director leaves the company “by mutual agreement.”
A potential successor of Luca de Meo
The name of Maxime Picat, candidate disappointed with the succession of Carlos Tavares, is cited among the possible successors in Luca de Meo, the head of the Renault competitor, who has just announced his departure for the Kering luxury group.
Maxime Picat, director of Peugeot and director of a factory in China for PSA, has a strong experience in the automotive sector. In addition, transfers between Stellantis and Renault are not uncommon. Carlos Tavares had taken the head of the PSA in 2014, which became Stellantis in 2021, after summer number two in Renault.
