    Indian-American Dhivya Suryadevara to take over as General Motors CFO
  • Another person of Indian origin has made their mark on the international platform. Indian-American Dhivya Suryadevara has been named the new Chief Finance Officer (CFO) of General Motors (GM), the US' largest automaker.

    The current vice-president of corporate finance will replace Chuck Stevens on September 1.

    The 39-year-old will be the first woman in this position in the auto industry.

    A brief profile of Suryadevara
  • Suryadevara, born in Chennai, did her bachelors and masters in commerce from the University of Madras.

    At 22, she moved to the US for an MBA from Harvard University.

    She worked as a chartered financial analyst and accountant with UBS and PricewaterhouseCoopers before joining Detroit-based GM in 2005.

    Last July, she took over as the vice-president of corporate finance at the company.

    Named Automotive News Rising Star (2016) and a Crain's Detroit Business 40-Under-40 winner (2017), she also helped achieve ratings upgrades from all three credit ratings agencies, and renewed GM's $14.5bn revolving credit facility.

    He began at its Buick division in 1978. He played a key role in establishing GM's joint venture with SAIC Motor Corp in China, and in the sale of its struggling Opel business to PSA Group.

    Stevens, who will retire in March'19, will stay on as adviser till then.

  • Suryadevara'll report to CEO Mary Barra, who's been heading GM since 2014. Barra too is the first woman in her position in the sector.

    "Dhivya's leadership in several key roles throughout our financial operations positions her well to build on (our) strong business results," Barra said.

    With this, GM joins a short list of S&P 500 companies where women serve as CEO and CFO.
