In the search for an auto industry outside, General Motors has announced that Chris Liddell will become the automaker’s vice chairman and CFO in 2010.
Set to replace Ray G. Young — a 20-year veteran of GM — Liddell, the former Chief Financial Officer for software giant Microsoft, will report to GM’s chairman and acting CEO Ed Whitacre and use his financial expertise to right the General’s ship after one of the worst years in the automaker’s history.
Liddell, an engineering and philosophy major, oversaw Microsoft’s global acquisitions, accounting and reporting while leading its financial team, and will depart from the software colossus on December 31. More details on this corporate breath of fresh air in the press release after the break.
