Sergio Rocha |
GM Korea named Sergio Rocha, head of its Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay branch, the new CEO of the Korea office, the company said Friday.
Rocha, scheduled to head the branch from March 1, replaces John Buttermore, who was holding the interim chief position after Mike Arcamone resigned in January. Arcamone left for Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier Commercial Aircraft after two and a half years in Seoul.
“We are pleased to have Sergio taking over GM’s growing operations in Korea,” said GM International Operations President Tim Lee.
“He brings a wealth of experience in product engineering, planning, manufacturing and management in North and South America, Europe and Asia to his important new position.”
Rocha served as GM’s executive director of global program management in Detroit before he became president of GM Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay in 2009.
