David J. Herman, General Motors vice president for Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States, will retire after 29 years of service with the company, effective April 1. Herman, 56, will continue to assist the corporation in a consulting role for matters in Eastern Europe. . |
"Dave Herman traveled and worked around the world for GM and his efforts helped to make GM the truly global enterprise it is today," said Rick Wagoner, GM president and chief executive officer. "We'll miss his passion and energy for international business but take comfort that his efforts will bear fruit for years to come."
Herman joined GM in 1973 as an attorney with the Legal Staff in New York before starting an international career holding senior positions in several countries in Latin America and Europe. Those assignments include Managing Director of GM Chile, Managing Director of Fabrica Colombiana de Automotores in Colombia, Managing Director of Opel Belgium (at that time called GM Continental), President and CEO of Saab Automobile in Sweden, and Chairman and Managing Director of Adam Opel AG in Germany.
In June 1998, he was named to his current position based in Moscow. Since that time, he has been instrumental in establishing GM's Joint Venture company with AvtoVAZ in Russia. Under that agreement, it is planned that the JV would annually build 75,000 units of the Niva sport utility vehicle. Start of Production is foreseen for fall this year.
