Ford Changes CMOs In Management Shuffle after Executive Ouster
Posted in: Uncategorized
Ford Motor Co. on Thursday tapped Kumar Galhotra, a company veteran who steered the Lincoln luxury brand back to respectability, to replace Raj Nair, who was ousted Wednesday after an internal investigation uncovered “inappropriate behavior,” as its president of North America.
Galhotra, 52, will take over Nair’s duties in North America on March 1. He previously was group vice president, Lincoln and Ford’s chief marketing officer. Galhotra had added chief marketing officer to his duties Nov. 1 last year.
“Kumar is an incredibly talented executive with a special feel for product and brand. He is also a seasoned leader who knows how to drive a business transformation,” Jim Farley, Ford’s president of global markets, said in a statement. “Kumar is the right person to lead our North American business to new levels of operational fitness, product and brand excellence, and profitability.”
