It is important to realise that Ford is no longer just a vehicle manufacturer and knows its future lies in "mobility" rather than cars.
That means exploring new ideas of moving people, and not just adding more and more cars to the World's cities that are already congested. It will take CEO's not only running Ford Australia but Ford globally to turn the company around. Kay Hart has been hired to investigate and hopefully implement these new ways of mobility... Not just selling vehicles in the traditional ways as we know it today. |

Bob Graziano was pretty good and delayed shutting down Falcon to his own detriment. This lady may turn out to be from the Bill Bourke and Geoff Polites mould - wouldn’t that be something?!?

Sales will ALWAYS be a focus of all organisations, but along with that Ford is also an engineering hub just like Toyota. Don't forget there is a national parts distribution which is just as important to car makers as selling the cars themselves.

No matter if its male or female with Ford OZ/NZ CEO title, will be told what to do from Dearborn full stop.

Whickman will be no loss. I still remember him going on about how the company did no wrong by Powershift owners, which he ended up with a 10m fine for.

There does seem to be a consistent pattern over many, many years with long standing employee's of the Ford Motor Company departing the company after having been the Australian CEO.
