Grace Lieblein, General Motors Co.’s vice president of global quality, is retiring at the end of the month.
The 55-year-old engineer moved into her current job 14 months ago from her previous position as head of global purchasing. She became the first woman to run GM Mexico when she took that job in 2009-2011. She later headed GM’s Brazilian unit and currently is the carmaker’s highest-ranking Hispanic woman.
Lieblein’s replacement will be named later, marking the company’s fourth quality chief in four years. GM says her retirement had been planned some time ago.
