Stellantis Chairman John Elkann has reportedly identified Apple's outgoing Cfo Luca Maestri as the successor to Carlos Tavares for the automotive group's CEO role, Corriere della Sera wrote.

Reuters is not yet able to verify this news.

On Monday, Reuters wrote that Stellantis is considering for the CEO role the internal candidacies of Maxime Picat, chief Purchasing and Supplier Quality officer, and Antonio Filosa, chief operating officer North America, and also that proposals are coming in from outside.
