Under Uppal’s direction, GM Africa & Middle East delivered volume and share growth, and sustainable financial performance in an increasingly competitive market. This success was achieved through a portfolio strategy that introduced diverse vehicle propulsions and advanced in-vehicle connected services. He also led the turnaround of the GM Egypt business, restoring Chevrolet as the market leader, GM said in a news release.

“As a proud Canadian, I’m honored to be returning home and I look forward to working alongside our talented employees, dealers and partners to strengthen collaboration and unlock new opportunities together,” said Uppal. “My focus will be continuing sales leadership momentum, expanding our market share in key cities and driving innovation across the GM Canada footprint.”
