’s head of electric vehicles and software is leaving the automaker as it restructures its executives and operations.
Ford on Wednesday said Doug Field — chief EV, digital and design officer — has “elected to leave the company after a transition over the next month.” A release announcing the move mentioned a “next chapter” for Field, but the executive declined to disclose specific plans on a call with media Wednesday.
Field’s departure was announced in conjunction with Ford detailing a new executive structure that includes the establishment of a “Product Creation and Industrialization” organization at the company that will be led by Ford veteran and Chief Operating Officer Kumar Galhotra.
