Stephen Carlisle of Woodstock has been named the new President of GM Canada.
WOODSTOCK - With current GM Kevin Williams set to retire at the end of 2014, the hunt was on for a replacement. The ideal candidate would be a Woodstock man, working with the company for over 30 years.
Stephen Carlisle, a graduate of College Avenue Secondary School in the Friendly City, has been named the new President and Managing Director of General Motors Canada.
He began his career with GM out of high-school as a co-op student in 1982 at the Truck assembly plant in Oshawa, and after completing a Bachelor`s degree in business from the University of Waterloo, and an MBA from the MIT Sloan School of Management, Carlisle moved steadily up the corporate ladder at GM.
His first full-time assignment was in advanced manufacturing engineering at the Oshawa plant starting in 1986. He also held positions in materials management before moving to the former Chevrolet-Pontiac-GM group in Warren, Michigan in 1991 on a special assignment focused on product simplification. Carlisle also had an assignment in advanced product engineering before being appointed Director of the GM Decision Support Center in 1995. In 1996, he was appointed program planning director for the midsize truck vehicle line executive team, located in Pontiac, Mich. He was appointed assistant planning director for the GM Truck Group in 1997. He was then appointed group director of planning for the group in 1999.
His most current position was as GM`s global management and product planning manager, and says he is excited to bring his enthusiasm to the company to build on the work done by Williams and his team in the last four years.
GM employs over 9,000 employees across its plants, including its CAMI Assembly plant located in Ingersoll.
