General Motors Recruits Former Apple Executive Tim Twerdahl To Strengthen Software Division: Report

Author: Nabaparna Bhattacharya | August 28, 2024 11:23am

General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) has reportedly hired a veteran of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) to its software services unit.

Tim Twerdahl will be vice president of product management for the arm. Twerdahl enters General Motors as the auto behemoth builds out its budding software unit's administration team with former Apple executives while cutting other personnel to terminate some coatings of staffing, reported BNN Bloomberg.

At Apple, Twerdahl handled products such as AirPods and Apple TV as vice president of the tech giant's home & audio products business.

Most recently, he was the head product officer of sustainable building design firm Juno. He will report to Baris Cetinok, GM's senior vice president of software and services product management, the report noted, citing sources who requested anonymity as the information has not been made public.

This joint venture will help Samsung SDI establish a presence in the North American EV market and expand its customer base for these high-quality, safe batteries.
