One of General Motors’ most talented designers, Bryan Nesbitt, currently serving at the executive director for North American exterior design and global architecture strategy, has been given the go-ahead to move on up the corporate ladder at the automaker.
Nesbitt will now be serving as the vice president of GMIO design, which will relocate the designer from North America to Shanghai, China.
Part of the reason for the designer’s physical location being changed was the need to take the reigns of designing future vehicles for GM’s Chinese brands of Wuling and Baojun.
With Nesbitt leaving the U.S., GM will recall Ken Parkinson from the position Nesbitt will now be taking over, essentially switching roles for the pair. Parkinson will also be tasked with overseeing design for the Chevrolet brand.
The changes will take place as of August 1, 2011.
