New CFO Eminently Qualified for Leadership Role at GM [Biff Spackle]

By Biff Spackle, Cub Reporter

While GM CEO Dan Akerson is admittedly "not a car guy," it would appear that their new CFO, Dan Ammann is a car guy because he... owns a car.

From the Detroit Free Press profile on Ammann:

[Ammann] had shown an interest in cars before ever joining GM: He's the proud owner of a 1961 Cadillac convertible."


Good to know owning a car means you've shown an interest in cars.

  1. When I was in high school I had a 1962 hand me down Caddie. I was such an idiot I didn't realise how cool that car was.

  2. ‎'Ammann's ability to manipulate numbers, and also understand their implications, helped send him "on a rocketship rise," Bott said" Wha ??? 'manipulate numbers' ???? Yet.... ‎'Ammann, whom GM declined to make available for this report, lacks accounting experience and will need to beef up his operational expertise before advancing more inside GM.' Ummmmmm - he's been appoiointed at the Chief Financial Officer of Gubment Motors and he 'lacks accounting experience ??? Wisky Tango Foxtrot people!!! But wait...there is more... ‎"But Ammann, an avid sailor who once did an interview while taking his family skiing, had shown an interest in cars before ever joining GM: He's the proud owner of a 1961 Cadillac convertible." You have got to be kidding me right ?? !!! WOW. Seriously - it like I'm reading Pravda !!!
