General Motors will announce another major executive shakeup in Detroit Tuesday, and it looks like former designer Bryan Nesbitt will be relieved of his duties as Cadillac general manager. Nesbitt got the job following GM's bankruptcy last year when the company slimmed down its design staff. Unlike general managers at Chevrolet and Buick-GMC, Nesbitt's duties were not tied directly to sales. Former Chevy general manager Ed Peper has been serving as Cadillac's sales general manager for the past half year.
The shakeup has major implications for Bob Lutz's future at GM. He hired Nesbitt away from Chrysler earlier last decade and made sure there was a place for the PT Cruiser designer at post-bankruptcy GM. Nesbitt's departure would indicate Lutz's role as one of three GM vice chairmen has diminished to almost nothing.
