AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -

Chrysler Group made several announcements today, including the establishment of a new office and the appointment of new leadership.

The new office of Vehicle Safety and Regulatory Compliance will be responsible for its namesake (the company’s vehicle safety and regulatory compliance), responsibilities that had previously been held by Chrysler’s global engineering group.

The group will be led by Chrysler senior vice president Scott Kunselman, who previously was in charge of NAFTA purchasing and supplier quality. He also held oversight of regulatory compliance in the prior position of senior vice president of engineering. Tom Finelli will take Kunselman’s previous position.

John Nigro was also named as the head of NAFTA product development, moving from the position of vice president of systems and component engineering with Chrysler. Nigro replaces Mark Chernoby, who is now chief operating officer of product development.
