Dodge Chief Takes Chrysler and Alfa Romeo NA Lead in Stellantis Shakeup

Stellantis appoints Dodge CEO Matt McAlear to lead Chrysler and Alfa Romeo in North America after chief executive Chris Feuell exits for personal reasons. Feuell’s tenure left Chrysler with a two‑model lineup centered on the Pacifica/Voyager and yielded little revival, while Alfa Romeo NA sales declined amid leadership reshuffles. McAlear, a 13‑year Stellantis veteran who previously oversaw Dodge and the Charger launch, inherits a reorganizing corporate structure and a brand portfolio with an uncertain product plan beyond a planned 2027 Pacifica refresh as the automaker reevaluates its North American strategy.
