As planned, Clara Ingen-Housz, who joined the company in early 2024, will replace Olivier in his current role and be appointed head of the Global Corporate Office and Public Affairs.

“I want to take the opportunity to warmly thank Richard for his drive, unwavering focus on our customers, and contribution to the early years of Stellantis. I wish him well,” said Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares. “I have every confidence in Thierry’s ability to drive the growth of the Citroën brand, Olivier’s determination to elevate Stellantis to the next level of customer satisfaction, and warmly welcome Clara to the Top Executive Team as we continue to execute our Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan, together with our passionate stakeholders around the world.
