Who's Where: Bryan Nesbitt and Ken Parkinson switch roles within GM Design

General Motors has announced a change within its Global Design organization that will effectively see Bryan Nesbitt and Ken Parkinson switch roles from August 1 this year.

Bryan Nesbitt, who has been executive director North American Exterior Design and Global Architecture Strategy, has been appointed vice president of GMIO Design. The appointment will see Nesbitt relocate to Shanghai, China, and serve as the lead voice for Design in the GMIO region.

Current Vice President of GMIO Design, Ken Parkinson, will repatriate to the United States and become Executive Director, North American Exterior Design and Global Architecture.

"This alignment will continue to position GM's Global Design organization to provide the company with a compelling vision for future vehicle designs and the excellent execution of GM products," said Ed Welburn, GM vice president, Global Design.
