Takata Names New GC in North America
Embattled Japanese air bag manufacturer Takata Corp. has named a new general counsel for its North American unit — less than a week after its president and chief operating officer resigned, reports The Detroit News.
Bruce D. Angiolillo, a longtime lawyer at Simpson Thacher & Barlett LLP, has been named general counsel at TK Holdings Inc., the Auburn Hills-based North American subsidiary of Takata.
“Angiolillo will oversee all North American legal and regulatory matters at the company and work directly with Takata’s senior management, external legal counsel and the Company’s governing bodies. He will play an integral role in Takata’s continued efforts to work cooperatively with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and other regulators to resolve all outstanding issues related to the safety campaigns associated with certain Takata air bag inflators,” the company said in a statement.
