Chrysler And Alfa N.A. CEO Abruptly Exits Stellantis As Dodge Boss Takes Over Both
Key Points:
- Chris Feuell has stepped down as CEO of Chrysler for personal reasons, with Dodge CEO Matt McAlear taking over leadership of both Chrysler and Alfa Romeo in North America.
- Feuell's tenure since 2021 saw Chrysler's lineup shrink to primarily the Pacifica and Voyager minivans, as the brand's sedans were discontinued and promised revivals failed to materialize.
- Despite maintaining steady minivan sales, Chrysler did not achieve significant growth or new model launches under Feuell, while Alfa Romeo sales declined sharply during her oversight.
- McAlear, a 13-year Stellantis veteran with experience leading Dodge and involvement in launching the Pacifica, assumes the role amid broader executive reshuffles aimed at stabilizing Stellantis
