DETROIT - General Motors today named Arden Hoffman senior vice president and chief people officer. Hoffman joins GM from Cruise, the autonomous vehicle subsidiary of GM. Hoffman replaces Kim Brycz, who announced her plans to retire from GM after nearly 40 years of service.

Hoffman's appointment is effective Jan. 1, 2023. She will report to GM Chair and CEO Mary Barra. Brycz's retirement also is effective Jan. 1, 2023. Brycz has led GM's HR team since 2018.

Brycz joined GM in 1983. Prior to leading GM's global HR team, she spent the majority of her career in the company's global purchasing organization, including serving as executive director of Global Purchasing from 2013 to 2018.

"When Kim shared her plans to retire several months ago, I reflected on the significant contributions she has made to GM over the years. She has built a world-class HR organization that has been instrumental to our ongoing transformation," said Barra. "Arden's deep background leading the HR function for fast-growing global tech companies makes her the right leader to continue that momentum and deliver our future talent portfolio."
