Mary Teresa Barra is the chair and CEO of General Motors Company. She has held the CEO position since January 15, 2014, and she is the first female CEO of a major global automaker.

The No.1 US automaker, General Motors and South Korea's LG Chem will invest up to $2.3 billion by 2023 to form a joint venture for the production of batteries for electric vehicles.

The two companies plan to build a factory for the manufacturing of battery cells in the Lordstown-area of northeast Ohio.
