During that time, Gibson held the positions of Director-Fleet & Commercial Sales, Director – Rental Sales and Director – Marketing & Internal Support. Additional responsibilities included GM’s Global Fleet Sales, Fleet Management Company Relations, Global Fleet Sales and Federal Government Sales. With his leadership and a focus on customer satisfaction, Gibson’s team helped reestablish General Motors as a worldwide leader in the fleet industry.
