Not even a week after a GM Authority Opinion Desk piece was published giving praise to OnStar President Chris Preuss, the guy up and leaves. Filling his shoes is Linda Marshall, who gets bumped up from executive director of OnStar’s corporate strategy and business development. Marshall is a seasoned veteran in the wireless communications field, having held multiple executive positions at companies such as Sprint Nextel and Verizon Wireless. When she assumes her new role February 1st, she will report directly to Stephen Girsky, GM Vice Chairman of corporate strategy and business development.
We wish Marshall the best of luck in her new position, and we hope to see her continue the momentum Preuss left behind.

So Preuss left to start his own business consulting firm… interesting.
I think he has reached a point at OnStar where he may have felt that he could no longer improve/develop the company and/or technology — which surely is peculiar given how much GM’s infotainment systems lag behind those from Ford.
