This was my foray into the world of GM's international business. Over the five years spent in Zurich and Frankfurt, I covered three areas: introducing lean productiont principles to GMIO plants within Europe and beyond; developing a streamlined tracking process for new vehicle development; and leading the development team for a brand new Opel vehicle in partnership with Suzuki Motor Company. This episode describes the working environment inside GMIO operations and players that I came across. Working with and for people with tremendous talent and management capability, getting involved in game changing projets, and having opportunities to travel to markets worldwide. The assignment in Zurich with GMIO turned out to be much more global that I had imagined going into the job. Again, it was a career enhancing and professionally very fulfilled phase in my time with GM. Already having had the Germany experience behind them, my family was crusing in Switzerland, enjoying every monent of their stay.
