I think Kruger did a ok job...if this was 10yrs ago, his contract would probably be renewed. We're currently at a time with mass change in the auto industry. Most new car buyers now want a iphone with wheels. Tesla is proof of that, outselling audi last yr and taking the customers that would've normally bought a BMW, Mercedes or porsche 5yrs ago.
You have to maintain a balancing act of investing in EV, while still making money off of ICE cars.
GM is letting go of all its metal benders so they can hire more programmers. GM is trying to transform into a tech company from a car company.
The board probably wanted a person that can perform a better balancing act between ICE and EV and had a better vision for ev's.
