Stellantis is the group created by the merger of PSA (Peugeot-Citroen) and FCA (Fiat-Chrysler Automobile). The group now run by Carlos Tavares, the former right hand of Carlos Ghosn at Renault until 2013, is the fourth largest automaker in the world. The group formed in January comprises 14 car brands on three continents, among which Fiat, Peugeot, Citroen, Opel, Jeep, Ram and Maserati and has 400,000 employees.

Before coming to Romania, Hakim Boutehra had served as Renault managing director for Middle East, a position based in Dubai, where he spent almost four years.

His replacement as managing director of Renault SE Europe is Cecilia Tudor, who started on February 1.
