General Motors Co said on Thursday that Chief Financial Officer Chris Liddell will leave the automaker a little more than a year after joining.

Liddell, 52, will leave GM on April 1. He joined the company in January 2010 and led its financial and accounting operations on a global basis.

Dan Ammann will succeed Liddell as CFO. The 38-year-old executive, who joined GM in March 2010, is currently vice president, finance and treasurer.
