The change is the latest in a series of executive changes occurring since Boeing's Alan Mulally took the corner office from former CEO Bill Ford.
Today, Martin Collins, 43, former executive director of marketing, begins his new job as southeast regional VP at Group 1 Automotive, a dealership chain. Anne Stevens, former COO of Americas, Steve Lyons, former Ford division marketing VP, and Steve Hamp, chief of staff, have all left the company.
Earlier this week, Ford announced that for the first time, the company will raise $18 billion in cash by mortgaging its U.S. assets--including plants, and that 38,000 of its 75,000 hourly workers will take an early buy-out.
