With the creation of Fisker Automotive, Inc., Danish-born Henrik Fisker, 45, has fulfilled a lifelong dream of designing and creating a range of beautiful cars that make environmental sense without compromise.

In January 2001 Fisker became President and Chief Executive Officer of BMW’s California-based industrial design subsidiary, Designworks/USA.
Some of his most notable works include the Z07 concept (1997) and the Z8 roadster (1999). Upon graduating from The Art Center College of Design in 1989, Fisker began his career in Germany at BMW’s advanced design studio, BMW Technick GmbH.
