Former Chrysler boss Nardelli joins firearms maker


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former Chrysler Chief Executive Bob Nardelli is joining firearms and ammunition maker Freedom Group, the company said in a press release.

    Nardelli left Chrysler 2009 after the car maker emerged from bankruptcy and joined private equity firm Cerberus -- the former majority owner of Chrysler -- as an adviser.

    Freedom said it formed a CEO's office to provide strategic direction to the company's operating management and to facilitate decision making pending the appointment of a new CEO.

    Freedom's former CEO, Theodore Torbeck, resigned earlier this month.
