Now in its ninth year, the What Drives Her networking event, panel discussion and awards program at Chicago's McCormick Place brings together influential women in the automotive industry and recognizes women who are changing the auto industry from the inside, as well as the advocates who help make change happen.

"Chris Feuell exemplifies what it means to be a trailblazer in today's automotive industry," said Jennifer Morand, general manager of the Chicago Auto Show. "She not only leads two historic brands, but she also makes a point to show up for other women, sharing her experience, supporting meaningful dialogue and helping open doors for the next generation. Her leadership and generosity of time reflect the true mission behind the What Drives Her Trailblazer Award."

The What Drives Her Trailblazer Award honors a woman in the automotive industry who is notable for her empowerment of others, for breaking down barriers to allow others to follow, for pursuing non-traditional roles or jobs, for leadership and for taking on additional roles, such as leading an employee resource group or mentoring program.

"I am truly honored to receive the What Drives Her Trailblazer Award, and I am deeply humbled to be nominated by such amazing and accomplished leaders in our industry," said Feuell. "My sincere thanks to Jennifer Morand and Scotty Reiss, the organizers, judges and the entire Chicago Auto Show community for recognizing and elevating the innovators who are helping move our industry forward. I especially appreciate the What Drives Her committee for shining a spotlight on women who are blazing trails in our industry and creating pathways for others to follow."

Feuell was appointed chief executive officer of the Chrysler brand in September 2021 and appointed head of Alfa Romeo brand North America in December 2024. Feuell is a well-recognized senior executive with extensive global experience in automotive, supply chain automation and advanced building technologies industries.

The honor for Feuell marks the second consecutive year a Stellantis representative has earned the award. Audrey Moore, vice president and chief engineer – North American sedan programs, was recognized as the 2025 What Drives Her Trailblazer.
