Tianshu Xin is now the lead for Stellantis’ China and Asia-Pacific region, effective August 3, reporting to Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa.

He will also join the Stellantis leadership team. Grégoire Olivier has been appointed strategic advisor and will report to Mr Xin. 

Mr Xin has 30 years of experience across operations management, strategy, business development, mergers and acquisitions, sales and marketing in a range of industries.

Pablo Di Si, Stellantis chief performance officer

Mr Pablo Di Si – the former president and CEO of Volkswagen Group North America – has been named Stellantis chief performance officer, effective August 3, 2026.  

In this newly defined leadership role, Mr Di Si will report directly to Mr Filosa and lead execution of the company’s value creation program to help deliver the company’s business targets. 

Mr Di Si has extensive international automotive leadership experience and a strong track record of improving operational excellence, turnarounds, strengthening commercial performance and leading total enterprise transformation across complex global organizations.  

Mr Filosa said: “Tianshu Xin and Pablo Di Si bring deep global leadership experience, operational discipline and proven records of building strong teams and driving performance in highly competitive markets. 

“Their appointments strengthen our leadership team as we sharpen execution, accelerate value creation, and continue positioning Stellantis for long-term success across regions and functions. I also want to thank Gregoire for his leadership and look forward to working together as he takes on his new role.”
