The Notable Champions of Diversity in Automotive program recognizes individuals striving for diversity, equity, and inclusion in the automotive industry.
“Day in and day out, Shunda ensures that GM Financial embraces an inclusive culture that honors and respects the company’s team members, customers, dealers, and communities,” says Dan Berce, President and CEO, in a statement. “By incorporating our DE&I initiatives into our core company values, the creation of a more diverse workforce drives better outcomes for the business.”
Robinson is in charge of implementing initiatives that promote GM Financial and its employees' success, according to a news release. She is the catalyst for growing and evolving GM Financial into a DE&I innovator and leader in the auto finance industry.

With more than 25 years of human resources experience, Robinson serves as an adviser and partner to executive leadership on sustainable DE&I strategies. She has established herself as a thought leader within the automotive and auto finance industries and has also become a leading voice on Capitol Hill, collaborating with lawmakers on improving DE&I practices in the public and private sectors.
