Bob Lutz is out as chief marketing officer at General Motors, the automaker confirmed today.

He remains with the car giant as vice chairman and adviser.

Susan Docherty takes the wheel guiding GM’s image as vp, vehicle sales, service and marketing operations. She had been vp, U.S. sales.

That change and others were detailed in a company statement today, and the moves follow by three days the abrupt departure of GM chief executive Fritz Henderson, whose duties have been assumed by chairman Ed Whitacre.
