After Yahoo, General Motors. The next CEO of the American giant (from which US Treasury has just exited the capital, Con one loss of $10,5 billion out of the 49,5 invested) will be a woman for the first time. The automotive group of Detroit will in fact appoint Mary Barra, currently head of global product development, in place of Dan Akerson, who will step aside next year.
This was reported by the television station CNBC, according to which Barra will be the first woman to drive a major car manufacturer. In recent weeks Akerson, while not specifying when she would leave office, had indicated four candidates for succession, including Barra. The other three were vice president Stephen Girsky, chief financial officer Daniel Ammann and head of North American operations Mark Reuss.
