Ex General Motors CEO and Chairman Rick Wagoner has found himself in the spotlight once again. He has joined The Washington Post as the eleventh member of the media giant’s board of directors, a panel that includes Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, among others.
Wagoner began his General Motors career as an analyst and during his thirty-two year tenure served as President of GM Brazil, President of North American Operations, CFO, and – of course – CEO and Chairman. He was forced out by the Obama Administration during GM’s infamous 2009 bankruptcy.
In 2009, Wagoner was replaced by Ed Whitacre in his post as Chairman of the GM board and by Fritz Henderson as CEO. In turn, Whitacre replaced Henderson as CEO in early 2010.
