Chevrolet, Buick to get new leaders

On Wednesday, GM said that its flagship Chevrolet brand—which is critical to helping the post-bankruptcy GM compete with Ford, Toyota and Honda—would be getting new leadership, the Detroit Free Press reported.
GM said in a statement that Brent Dewar, who had served as vice president of the global Chevrolet brand since July and has been with GM for 31 years, has “elected to retire effective April 1, 2010, to dedicate more time to his family and to pursue personal interests,” the paper said. Until April, Dewar will be on an unspecified special assignment for GM’s new North American President Mark Reuss, the Free Press said.
Dewar is to be replaced by Jim Campbell, who will take the title of Chevrolet brand manager. Campbell, who joined GM in 1988, has been responsible for GM’s fleet and commercial business, the paper said. Additionally, Michael D. Richards is leaving GM after joining the automaker Dec. 1 as the head of the Buick and GMC brands, two people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg News. No replacement has been named. A GM spokeswoman declined to comment about the report, the story said. (Detroit Free Press)
