Stellantis appointed Joao Laranjo chief financial officer on September 29, 2025, effective immediately. He succeeded Doug Ostermann, who resigned for personal reasons, according to the automaker. Stellantis did not provide further detail about Ostermann’s departure.

Who replaced Doug Ostermann as Stellantis CFO?

Joao Laranjo became Stellantis CFO and a member of its Leadership Team on September 29, 2025. The company announced the appointment and said it took effect immediately. The change followed Ostermann’s resignation.

Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa described Laranjo as a longtime colleague, saying: “Having worked closely with Joao for 15 years and witnessed his rise through the ranks, I have consistently been impressed by his excellent financial acumen, results-driven mindset, and deep understanding of our industry’s complexities.” That is Filosa’s assessment of Laranjo, not an independent measure of his performance.
