From co-op to CEO, Mary Barra proves that anything is possible when you are determined and consistent. Barra began working at General Motors as a co-op student in 1980 when she was just 18 years old to help pay for her college tuition. With her B.S. in Electrical Engineering and dedication to her work, she became VP of Global Manufacturing Engineering in 2008, VP of Global Human Resources in 2009, and Executive VP of Global Product Development in 2011. She took over the reigns of the company in 2014, when she became the first female CEO of a ‘Big Three’ automotive company.
