In many ways, Stellantis owes its successes to the inviolability of Mike's beliefs. Therefore, on the one hand, I am very sorry that Mike will no longer be among my closest colleagues, but on the other hand, I rejoice in his successes, his new position and the fact that he will join the board of directors of the Stellantis Foundation.
