Stellantis announced two senior leadership appointments, effective Sept. 1, strengthening the company’s communications and public policy leadership.
Stephanie Hartgrove has been appointed chief communications officer, reporting to CEO Antonio Filosa, and joins the Stellantis Leadership Team.
Hartgrove brings more than 20 years of global communications leadership experience. She joins Stellantis from Johnson & Johnson, where she served as global vice president of MedTech communications and public affairs, advancing growth and reputation across the company’s diverse medical technology portfolio. Previously, she held senior communications leadership roles at Baker Hughes and GE. She began her career as a journalist with CNN and Al Jazeera.
Clara Ingen-Housz is appointed head of public policy and regulatory strategy, international trade, reporting directly to Filosa. In this newly defined role, she will design and develop the company’s public policy, regulatory and trade strategy, and support the CEO in institutional engagements. She will also develop, as part of the General Counsel’s office, the company’s international trade law capability.
“I am pleased to welcome Stephanie at an important time for Stellantis as we advance our FaSTLAne 2030 strategy. She brings deep international experience and a proven ability to strengthen reputation, build stakeholder trust and lead through change,” said Filosa. “I also want to congratulate Clara on her leadership of Corporate Affairs and Corporate Communications over the past 19 months and thank her for taking on this important new responsibility. Together, these appointments will help ensure Stellantis speaks with a clear external voice and engages effectively on the issues that matter to our stakeholders.”
