Fisker Automotive, the developer of luxury range-extended electric vehicles, has appointed Tom LaSorda as its new CEO, with full responsibility for the running of the company’s day to day operations, effective immediately. LaSorda had joined the company as Vice Chairman of the Board and executive advisor to the management team in December. Co-Founder Henrik Fisker will become Executive Chairman of the company.
Henrik Fisker, who co-founded Fisker Automotive in 2007 after a design career at brands including BMW and Aston Martin, will focus on building the Fisker brand in global markets and the styling and design of future Fisker models.
A well-known industry executive, with more than 30-years experience, LaSorda was a former CEO, President and Vice Chairman of the Chrysler Group and also held a number of executive positions at General Motors over a 23-year career.
