Detroit, Michigan – General Motors has announced that Fritz Henderson has resigned as director, president and CEO of the company. Chairman Ed Whitacre will fill the role of president and CEO in the interim.

The Los Angeles Auto Show announced that Bob Lutz, vice-president of marketing communications, will deliver the keynote address to open the show on Tuesday, December 2; Henderson was originally scheduled to deliver the speech.

In a statement, General Motors said that the board of directors accepted Henderson’s resignation at its monthly meeting. “Fritz has done a remarkable job in leading the company through an unprecedented period of challenge and change,” Whitacre said. “While momentum has been building over the past several months, all involved agree that changes needed to be made. To this end, I have taken over the role of chairman and CEO while an international search for a new president and CEO begins immediately.”

Whitacre said that customers, employees, dealers, supplier and union partners were assured that GM’s daily business operations will continue as normal.

C'était pas un gars de char

Henderson était chez GM depuis 25 ans!

Since joining General Motors in 1984, he held a number of positions with the company until 1992 when he became GMAC group vice president of finance in Detroit.

C'est son remplaçant, Ed Whitacre, qui n'est pas un gars de chars...

Avant d'être au CA de GM lors de la création du "nouveau" GM, il oeuvrait dans les télécoms depuis 20 ans...
