From November 2009 to March 2013 and from March 2006 to November 2009, Mr. Fitz was a senior officer at General Motors (GM), holding multiple positions with increasing responsibility. He served as GM’s Global Finance Director of New Product Vehicle Programs from November 2011 to March 2013 and Chief Risk Officer and Executive Director of Risk Management at GM from November 2010 to November 2011. In the latter role, Mr. Fitz established GM’s company-wide risk management program as its first Chief Risk Officer, reporting to the GM Board’s finance and risk committee.
