DETROIT, May 24 (UPI) -- Susan Docherty, vice president of North American sales and marketing at General Motors, will take over the company's international operations, GM said Monday.

Docherty will take over the role from Don Johnson, who will be reassigned, GM said, the Detroit Free Press reported.

It has already been announced that Joel Ewanick, former vice president of marketing at Nissan and Hyundai, would take Docherty's U.S. sales and marketing position.

With 50 percent of GM's sales in international operations, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ed Whitacre Jr. said, "We are counting on Susan to make a significant contribution and I am glad to have her running this critical part of our business."

"Growth in China and other emerging markets is important to the company's future," he said.
