Edward Whitacre Jr., who turned AT&T Corp. into the world’s largest telecommunications company as chief executive, will become chairman of General Motors Corp. when the company leaves bankruptcy, the auto maker said Tuesday.
The 67-year-old Mr. Whitacre is known as a straight-talking, no-nonsense executive with a track record of cutting big deals and working closely with the U.S. government, skills that could prove critical for GM as it orchestrates a massive restructuring under close scrutiny of the U.S. Treasury.
