GM Holden chairman and managing director Gerry Dorizas has resigned – effective immediately – after just seven months to ‘pursue other opportunities.’
Chief financial officer Jeff Rolfs will replace Dorizas in the interim.
GM executive vice president and president of GM International Stefan Jacoby said in a statement announcing the resignation they would move quickly to find a replacement.
“We’re focused on winning with customers in Australia and New Zealand, and are moving quickly to name the right leader to drive our brand and business to the next level.”
“The foundation has been built to transform GM Holden in Australia, and we are determined to maintain momentum to continue to push towards our strategic objectives,” Jacoby said.
Jacoby said Dorizas had taken the reins of GM Holden at a ‘difficult period’ and had implemented a number of measures to transition from a manufacturer to sales company.
“We thank Gerry for his contribution to GM Holden and wish him well in his future endeavours,” Jacoby said.
Rolfs is a 22-year industry veteran and was previously vice president of finance and cfo at GM Canada.
