General Motors Co. Chairman Ed Whitacre, poised to spend as long as a year as interim chief executive officer, may end up hiring himself.
A permanent successor to Fritz Henderson, who was ousted Dec. 1, will have to work under federal pay limits while facing hurdles such as ending annual losses that began in 2005. That may make Whitacre a good fit, according to recruiters, former GM director Jerome York and one of the chairman’s Texas associates. “He was really enjoying being chairman,” said Bill Greehey, chairman of San Antonio-based NuStar Energy LP, who said Whitacre hadn’t confided in him. “He is very aggressive and energetic and in good health. He is a young 68. I don’t know what he is going to do. He may enjoy the job; he would be a great CEO.”
