General Motors made a series of top-level appointments last month. The highest-profile of them, of course, was the nomination of Mary Barra as Chief Executive Officer. But the industrial giant also named Tim Solso as chairman and Dan Ammann as president. The one thing that was missing was a new CFO.<br /><br />The position was previously held by Ammann, but his promotion left the office vacant, “His replacement as CFO [to] be named later.” That “later” is has come now as GM has named Chuck Stevens as its new Chief Financial Officer. Stevens started working at Buick way back in 1983, and has taken leadership positions for GM in a number of Asian markets in the years since. For the past four years he’s served as CFO of GM North America, and temporarily expanded his purview to include South America financial operations as well.<br /><br />In his new capacity he’ll report directly to Barra, and his post in the North American operations will be filled by John Stapleton, the outgoing CFO of GM Global Manufacturing.
