Stellantis puts SRT chief Tim Kuniskis in charge of all U.S. sales

Tim Kuniskis takes charge of Stellantis sales in the U.S.

Tim Kuniskis has been named chief commercial officer at Stellantis and will oversee all of the company's U.S. sales, The Drive reports. He will handle retail and fleet sales while retaining his responsibilities as head of SRT.

In his new role, Kuniskis will report directly to recently appointed Stellantis North America CEO Pablo Di Si. Kuniskis previously led Dodge, Jeep, Alfa Romeo, Maserati and Ram.

Kuniskis retired in 2024 after more than 30 years with the company. His departure followed disagreements with then-Stellantis global CEO Carlos Tavares. Less than a year later, after Tavares had stepped down, Kuniskis returned to help bring the Hemi V8 back to the Ram pickup lineup.

Bob Broderdorf, who has returned from personal leave, will lead Dodge. He previously headed Jeep, which is now led by Branden Coté. In a company statement, Kuniskis said Broderdorf was returning after dealing with health issues.

Matt McAlear will now focus exclusively on Chrysler. Both he and Broderdorf will continue to report to Kuniskis. McAlear will concentrate on a single brand because of the upcoming expansion of Chrysler's model range, Kuniskis explained. He said the brand needs to go from a single model to a full lineup.
