Ms. Barra succeeds Dan Akerson, who announced that he is stepping down. Ms. Barra, who will be the first woman to lead a major automobile company, currently serves as GM's senior vice president for product development. Barra began working for GM in the 1980s and has served in many roles, including vice president of global manufacturing engineering and plant manager of Detroit Hamtramck Assembly. "Congratulations to Mary Barra on being named CEO of GM. Ms. Barra has extensive experience and understands the importance of automotive jobs in Michigan and America which will serve her very well in her new role," said Stabenow. "We also owe Dan Akerson our thanks today for his leadership in the ongoing revival of GM and Detroit. Since its restructuring, GM has invested billions in America and created jobs across Michigan and across the country. The company's future continues to looks very bright." This statement follows the U.S. Department of Treasury's announcement yesterday that it has sold its remaining shares of General Motors stock. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
