Even More GM Leadership Changes

GM undergoes a massive restructuring and nobody doubts it, especially when looking at the avalanche of leadership changes that took place after the company emerged from bankruptcy. Today for example the American manufacturer announced it shuffles the upper management ranks once again, as part of its US restructuring.

"Our goal was to streamline our leadership team and put some of our best executives in positions where they can use their diverse perspectives and extensive global experience to create the new GM," said Henderson.

"The new GM leadership team includes people who have excelled in every area of the auto business, in every region of the world. This new GM team's experience is unmatched, and it will be invaluable as we renew our commitment to building and selling great cars and trucks and serving the needs of customers around the globe."

Mark Reuss, who previously worked as president and managing director of Holden, will serve as vice president, global vehicle engineering. Reuss will replace Jim Queen, group vice president, global engineering, and Ed Koerner, GM North American vice president, engineering, who recently announced they will leave the company on October 1.

Here are all the changes in GM's leadership team, as announced by the American manufacturer:

  • Mary Barra, currently vice president, global manufacturing engineering, will become vice president, global human resources, effective October 1
  • Katy Barclay, vice president, global human resources, has elected to retire, effective October 1
  • Eric Stevens, currently GM Europe vice president, manufacturing, will be named vice president, global manufacturing engineering, replacing Barra
  • John Buttermore, currently vice president, powertrain manufacturing, will assume the role of vice president, manufacturing, for GM International Operations
  • Walt Dorfstatter, currently executive director, engineering systems and operations for OnStar, will be named general manager for OnStar
  • Chet Huber, president of OnStar since 1995, has elected to retire, effective October 1
  • Jon Lauckner, currently vice president, global program management, will become vice president, global product planning
  • Terry Woychowski, currently executive director, global vehicle chief engineers, will become vice president, global vehicle program management, replacing Lauckner
  • Denny Mooney, vice president, global vehicle systems and integration, has elected to retire, effective October 1
