Mamatha Chamarthi, who headed Stellantis NV’s software business development, has left the automaker to become Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company’s senior vice president and Chief Digital Officer.
She is the latest executive to depart the automaker. Recently, Dodge and Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis, U.S. retail sales head Jason Stoicevich, Chief Customer Experience Officer Richard Schwarzwald and former North America Jeep boss Jim Morrison have all left.
Stellantis announced earlier this month that Chamarthi would be replaced by Cristiani Campos, who has worked for the company and its predecessor in several business development and finance roles over more than two decades.
The leadership change is effective immediately, company spokesperson Shawn Morgan told The Detroit News. Chamarthi had been in the senior software role since 2021, and previously was a chief information officer for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV.
“(Campos) has an outstanding track record in business development in Latin America and Taiwan combined with a solid financial background,” Morgan said in a statement. She will be based in Michigan and report to Yves Bonnefont, the company’s chief software officer.
Goodyear CEO and President Mark Stewart praised the addition of Chamarthi.
“It’s imperative that we understand our customers on a deeper level and (Chamarthi) allows us to leverage data and consumer insights to transform how we meet customer needs,” Stewart said. “I am confident (she) will help us make agile and data-informed decisions and I am excited to have her join Team Goodyear.”
