Alan Mulally Retiring on July 1st; Mark Fields Stepping In President and CEO

JACKSON, Mich - It was announced today that Ford Motor Company's current President and CEO Alan Mulally is retiring on July 1st and Mark Fields will step in as the next President and CEO. Mulally is retiring after almost eight years of leading Ford, ending an exceptionally successful 45-year career. It was with Mulally's leadership that Ford was able to transform and strengthen its position as one of the world's leading global automakers. Ford Motor Company has attained 19 consecutive quarters of profitability, developed some of the strongest product lineups in Ford history and has fully committed to the most ambitious global expansion in half a century. 

In 2012, Mark Fields was named Ford's chief operating officer and has been leading all of the global business operations and skill teams -including development, manufacturing, purchasing, marketing, sales and service- for Ford ever since. Fields is truly honored to start his journey leading such an outstanding company and team into the future. Although this transition is six months earlier than expected, Mulally fully believes that Fields and the leadership team are fully ready to continue to carry on the Ford vision. 

As Alan Mulally Retries on July 1st and Mark Fields Steps In as President and CEO, we wish them both the very best in their new adventures.
