"Dhivya's experience in leading our asset management team will serve her well in this important role for the company," said Chuck Stevens, GM Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer.

She was previously Managing Director of Investment Strategy and Fixed Income for GM Asset Management, where she was responsible for investment strategy and asset allocation for GM's pension plans. She also led the plan's fixed income and de-risking efforts including in-plan initiatives and lump sum and annuitization transactions. Suryadevara began her GM career in 2004 in treasury.
