General Motors Co.'s crucial Chevrolet division has a new general manager as yet another long-serving executive is leaving GM. The company announced late Wednesday that Brent Dewar, 31-year GM veteran and vice president, global Chevrolet, will retire effective April 1, 2010. Taking over immediately as Chevrolet general manager is 45-year-old James M. Campbell, who had been in charge of GM's Fleet and Commercial Operations. Since GM emerged from bankruptcy in mid-July, chairman Ed Whitacre has emphasized GM is striving for younger faces and fresher thinking – not to mention fresh blood from outside – to reinvigorate GM's hidebound executive culture. Chevrolet's new general manager is appropriately young, perhaps, but is no newbie at GM, having been with the company since 1988.
