“We will continue to implement our business plan as it was outlined and work to improve it. We will further reduce bureaucracy and continue to challenge the corporate culture,” said supervisory board chairman and GM-Europe president Steve Girsky.
Deputy supervisory board chairman and head of the Opel works council Wolfgang Schäfer-Klug said: “The new team around Steve Girsky stands for a change that Opel/Vauxhall urgently needs: leaner management structures, transparency, accountability and enforcement capability. This will put Opel back on a growth path.”
