Belloni returns to Stellantis from Renault Group, where he served as Global Chief Marketing Officer and later Chief Branding Officer.
Stellantis has appointed Arnaud Belloni as CEO of the FIAT, Abarth and Lancia brands and Chief Marketing Officer for Europe. He will report to Emanuele Cappellano, Chief Operating Officer for Enlarged Europe.
Belloni returns to Stellantis after previously spending 16 years with the company, where he held several marketing and leadership roles across its Italian and French brands. His earlier positions included FIAT and Lancia Brand Marketing Director, Managing Director of Lancia France and Vice President of Marketing for Asia Pacific.
Between 2015 and 2020, Belloni served as Citroën’s Global Chief Marketing Officer for Communications and Sports.
He joins Stellantis from Renault Group, where he was appointed Global Chief Marketing Officer in November 2020 and later took on the role of Chief Branding Officer for all the group’s brands in May 2023.
“We are delighted to welcome Arnaud back to Stellantis. His global perspective, creative leadership and deep knowledge of our brands will be invaluable assets, as we strengthen marketing across Europe and shape the next chapter for FIAT, Abarth and Lancia,” said Cappellano.
Belloni succeeds Olivier François, who will support the transition through mid-October before continuing with Stellantis as a Company strategic advisor.
François has held several senior roles during his more than 30-year career with Stellantis, including CEO of Chrysler, FIAT, Abarth, DS Automobiles and Lancia, as well as Global Chief Marketing Officer. In his advisory role, he will contribute to broader strategic areas including brand and product strategy.
“On behalf of the entire Stellantis team, I want to thank Olivier for his many years of outstanding contributions and leadership across our brands and marketing organization. We wish him every success in his next career chapter and look forward to continuing to benefit from his experience and expertise as a strategic advisor to our Company,” added Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa.
