Ford's Leadership Transition: Key Executives Retire, New Chief Supply Chain Officer Appointed

Two corporate officers at Ford Motor Company F, Kiersten Robinson and Jonathan Jennings, have announced their retirement after three decades of service, while Liz Door, a former Whirlpool Corp. executive, is set to join the company as the new Chief Supply Chain Officer, Ford said in a statement.

Kiersten Robinson, General Manager, Family Vehicles, and President, Mexico and Canada, for Ford Blue, will conclude her tenure on July 1. Jonathan Jennings, Vice President, Supply Chain, will retire effective August 1. Liz Door, who led global strategic sourcing for home-appliance maker Whirlpool Corp. for the past six years, will join Ford on June 12, taking over responsibilities previously held on an interim basis by CFO John Lawler.

In another significant move, Dave Bozeman, Vice President of Ford Blue Enthusiast Vehicles and Ford Customer Service Division, will leave Ford to become CEO of C.H. Robinson, a global transportation and third-party logistics enterprise.

These leadership changes come at a time when Ford is focusing on improving quality and reducing costs, including through the supply chain, as part of its Ford+ plan.
