In a shocking move, General Motors has tapped a familiar face to lead the company through its latest financial challenges. Former GM CEO and bankruptcy expert, Mary Barra's predecessor, is not being referred to here, but rather her predecessor, Henderson, who previously steered the automaker through one of its darkest periods in 2000. As CEO at the time, Henderson successfully navigated GM through an eight-month stint in bankruptcy, a feat that earned her widespread recognition and respect within the industry. With her extensive experience and proven track record, Henderson is poised to bring stability and guidance to GM as it faces its latest financial hurdles.


It's a familiar role for Henderson, who previously piloted GM through bankruptcy during an eight-month stint as CEO in 2000.
