General Motors announced Thursday that it has appointed Jill Sutton as its Corporate Secretary and Deputy General Counsel for Corporate, Finance, and Strategic Transactions. Sutton’s appointment is effective immediately, and she will report to executive vice president and general counsel Craig Glidden.

Prior to taking the position with GM, Sutton was the vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary of Tim Hortons, Inc. Prior to that, she served as corporate counsel at Wendy’s International, Inc. and practiced corporate and health care law for both Squire Sanders LLP and Eastman & Smith Ltd.
