We wish him all the best in his retirement,' said GM Chairman and CEO Mary Barra. 'Combining the leadership of the two regions supports our efforts to gain efficiencies in global markets.'

Engle joined GM in September 2015. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in economics, with a minor in Spanish, from Brigham Young University and a Master of Business Administration from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
