Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac Europe, has announced her intention to leave General Motors, effective September 30. Known as one of the top female executive in the automotive industry, Doherty has been with GM for over 27 years.
"After almost three decades at this great company, working at an incredible pace in markets around the world, I've decided to take a break, invest time in my family and chart a new course for my career," said Docherty. "I leave with incredible memories and valued friendships with high hopes for GM's continued success."

Before being appointed head of Cadillac Europe, Doherty held many key positions at GM, including vice president of US sales and general manager of Buick-Pontiac-GMC.

"With more than 27 years of GM service, Susan has been instrumental in many of our sales and marketing initiatives," said GM vice president, global manufacturing, and president, international operations Tim Lee. "She has helped build the equity of our brands and reach our customers in new and innovative ways."

A successor for Susan Docherty at Chevrolet and Cadillac Europe will be announced at a later date.
