Chrysler Group LLC on Sunday announced the remaining members of its new board of directors, a group that includes a former CEO of Northwest Airlines, investment bankers and top officials of the Italian automaker Fiat Group SpA.
Chrysler, which emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June under a new partnership with Fiat, said it expects to hold the first meeting of the nine-member board on July 29.
The automaker had already disclosed that former Borden Chemical and Duracell Chairman C. Robert Kidder will serve as chairman. The United Auto Workers union, which has a large stake in the new Chrysler, previously named former Michigan governor James J. Blanchard to the board.
Sergio Marchionne, the CEO of Fiat and the revamped Chrysler, will be on the board, along with Alfredo Altavilla, head of Fiat's powertrain technologies unit and a senior vice president in Fiat's autos division.
Chrysler also named Douglas Steenland, who served as Northwest's CEO from 2004 until it was bought out by Delta Air Lines in 2008.
Other members include -- George Gosbee, CEO of Tristone Capital Inc.; Scott Stuart, founding partner of Sageview Capital LLC; Ronald Thompson, board chairman of the Trustees for Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association (TIAA); and Stephen Wolf, chairman of R.R. Donnelly & Sons Co.
