Former Chrysler Leader Tom LaSorta To Become Fisker CEO

Fisker Automotive Inc., the maker of a luxury, plug-in hybrid sports car, will name former Chrysler Chief Executive Tom LaSorda as its Chief Executive Officer, a person familiar with the matter said.

Mr. LaSorda was named vice chairman of the company in December. He left Chrysler in 2009, where he was serving as co-president, when Fiat SpA took control of the company following its government-orchestrated bankruptcy.
