Mary Barra, Chair and CEO of General Motors, discussed the company’s capital allocation strategy, stating that GM’s management and board focused on share buybacks because they believe the company is undervalued, and she noted that many shareholders are pleased with the approach. She also addressed GM Defense’s growth, including a partnership with Lockheed Martin to deliver parts in under 30 days, and emphasized the company’s manufacturing capabilities, citing its history of building ventilators in 30 days. Barra said GM is not in the taxi business and is focused on personal autonomy rather than rideshare services, pushing back on predictions that car sales would drop significantly. In interviews with Fortune and Condoleezza Rice, Barra discussed GM’s use of artificial intelligence, including tools that predict aerodynamics in design, and said the technology’s adoption across the company has exceeded her expectations. She spoke about the importance of manufacturing resiliency and domestic supply chains, noting that while not everything needs to be built in the U.S., having multiple sources for components is critical given geopolitical and logistical challenges. Barra also reflected on her leadership during past crises, stating that values must be demonstrated in difficult times, and emphasized that people are central to GM’s success. She expressed that she still has more to contribute as CEO, though she noted that the decision ultimately rests with the board.

In this exclusive chat ahead of the opening Grand Prix, General Motors CEO Mary Barra talks about the brands entry into F1.
“This prediction, ever since the early days of what I call rideshare 1.0 with Uber and with Lyft people, I remember there was an analyst report written that car sales would drop 40%. They haven't because people still value that. It's in my driveway. I can go wherever I want, whenever I want. So I think that's going to be important. But we think personal autonomy is going to be important. That's where we're focused on ”
