Meet Matan Shoshani Nahshon: GM’s Automated Parking Program Manager. In the auto industry, which is emerging to the forefront of the tech world, Matan stands out.
"I'm a project manager at heart, even in my personal life,” Matan admits. “Ask my family or friends. They'll tell you I can get a day and a half's worth of productivity out of 24 hours, with everything planned down to the minute."
Always the girl who works in predominately male environments, Matan’s traversed the military, the Technion Israel Institute of Technology, Rafael, and now GM. In fact, her name is often mistaken for a man's by colleagues — until they meet her in person.
Instead of being discouraged, Matan reclaims the narrative, seeing these environments as opportunities to demonstrate her abilities and take full charge.
Matan joined General Motors in early 2022. Her aim wasn’t just to fit in — she wanted to change the game. As the Automated Parking Program Manager, Matan leads complex projects at the cutting edge of technology.
"Every day is a new challenge," she says with a smile, "and that’s exactly what I love."
Matan is more than a brilliant engineer. She’s a dedicated athlete, training four times a week to clear her mind and calm her constantly racing thoughts. Pun intended.
She’s also the dedicated wife of an accountant and mother to three young children. Her family lives in Binyamina and frequently enjoy the quiet, rural atmosphere.
During her impressive career, Matan set up a volunteer command center to support farmers. The project quickly grew, impacting hundreds of people.
"We worked with around 100 farmers and large volunteer groups, collaborated with institutional and private clients, and even launched a website,” Matan said.
Matan also plays an active role in GM’s Women’s Community and is part of GM Israel’s Employee Ambassador Program, sharing GM’s narrative on LinkedIn.
Matan’s story isn’t just about personal success. It embodies what we stand for here at GM: innovation, dedication, and work-life balance.
When we look to the future of automated parking, the sky’s the limit — especially with having people like Matan on our team. She’s not just a project manager: she’s turning the vision of smart, safe parking into reality every single day.
