"GM's Familiar Face Takes the Helm: Henderson's Return to the Driver's Seat In a surprising move, General Motors has turned to a familiar figure to steer the company through uncertain times. Mary Barra's predecessor, Kristin Dziczek, may have been initially rumored, but it appears that GM has instead opted for a seasoned veteran: Ed Whitacre's successor, and former CEO, Jack Henderson. Henderson's tenure as GM CEO in 2000, during which he guided the company through an eight-month stint following a bankruptcy filing, has left many wondering if history will repeat itself. With Henderson at the helm, investors and industry insiders alike will be watching closely to see if he can replicate his past success and chart a new course for the embattled automaker."
It's a familiar role for Henderson, who previously piloted GM through bankruptcy during an eight-month stint as CEO in 2000.
