Volt Executive Tony Posawatz Is New CEO Of Fisker Automotive.


Fisker Automotive has changed CEO Tom LaSorda with former Volt Executive Tony Posawatz. He replaces Tom LaSorda. He appointed CEO only in late February. LaSorda will remain available as an advisor.

Posawatz, 52, retired from General Motors last month. He had been vehicle line director for the Volt since 2006. People don’t expect him to jump right back into the car business.

LaSorda said in a statement, "Tony is the perfect CEO for Fisker. He has been at the forefront of the industry's technological revolution and one of the few people in the world to bring an EV to mass production."

The company's executive chairman and co-founder Henrik Fisker said “Posawatz, will ensure that Fisker is well positioned to maximize the potential of not only the Karma sedan, but also bring the Fisker Atlantic smoothly to market."

In other news the company has added Joseph Chao as executive vice president and CEO of China and Asia and Alberto Gonzalez as vice president of manufacturing.
