Effective immediately, Tom LaSorda will be stepping down from his role as the CEO of Fisker to be replaced by former vehicle line director for the Chevy Volt, Tony Posawatz.
In a time when Fisker is facing battery issues and the lack of money flow, the company believes a veteran in the field will bring his wealth of knowledge to help the ailing brand.
According to Fisker, Posawatz, who has had over 30 years of experience in the industry including the aforementioned line director for the Chevy Volt since 2006, along with serving as the Chairman of the Board of Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA), will bring “depth of knowledge and experience to this innovative field.”
Regarding the addition of Posawatz along with other new staffers to the Fisker board, Chairman Henrik Fisker had this to say about the future of the lineup.
“I believe we have an unbeatable team that can establish Fisker as a true global force and bring the highly anticipated Fisker Atlantic to the market.”
In the same statement, Fisker announced the addition of Joseph Chao as Executive Vice President and CEO of China and Asia, who also brings 30 years of industry experience to the company’s board.
Fisker added that LaSorda, a former chief executive of Chrysler, will continue with the brand as an adviser.
