Borst – GM vice president and treasurer since 2003 – will also continue as chairman of the Opel supervisory board.

“Walter has done an outstanding job as treasurer,” said Liddell. “He is a great fit to lead the team managing a crucial part of GM, the US$115bn in assets at Promark.”

Borst succeeds Nancy Everett, who has announced her intention to leave the company from 1 June. In 2007, Everett restructured the portfolio to hedge against volatility.

“Nancy was a valuable contributor during one of the most difficult times in the financial market’s history,” said Liddell. “Under her leadership, Promark delivered consistent performance for its clients, often outperforming the market.”
