Doug Field, Ford's high-profile EV and technology chief, is leaving the company as part of a broader leadership reorganization. Field, who previously worked at Apple and Tesla, was instrumental in shaping Ford's software and electric vehicle strategies over the past five years. His departure raises questions about the continuity of Ford's transition toward advanced technology and electrification.
Background
Ford has been undergoing a major transformation under CEO Jim Farley to shift from traditional automaker to a leader in EVs and software-defined vehicles. Field was hired in 2021 from Silicon Valley to drive this technological transition.
