Chair & CEO · General Motors
Chair and CEO of General Motors. Named corporate voice attached to the 2026-05-11 GM IT layoffs (~500–600 workers cut in an explicit "AI-skills swap"), one of the cleanest US corporate receipts of the May 2026 layoffs cluster because the company itself named AI as the substitution mechanism rather than dressing it as cost-discipline. Pairs editorially with the Gartner / Daryl Plummer study circulating the same morning showing AI layoffs are not delivering ROI. A primary Pillar 02 ("the ones replacing you don't know your name") receipt for the May coverage.
