General Motors Names Ex-Apple Executive Mike Abbott to Lead New Software Unit

General Motors has hired Apple executive Mike Abbott to head up its software division.
Abbott will lead the team responsible for the entire software ecosystem, overseeing three software departments.
GM plans to bring software development in-house and launch revenue-generating digital services and features for its consumer and commercial customers.
Abbott's experience as a founder and entrepreneur coupled with his proven track record creating and delivering some of the market's most compelling software-defined solutions for consumers and companies make him an excellent fit at GM.
GM's Ultifi software platform, which will drive faster innovation and enable new and exciting customer experiences, is rolling out to some GM brands later this year.
