Ford Motor Company today announced that Raj Nair, executive vice
president and president, North America, is departing from Ford

The decision follows a recent internal investigation into
reports of inappropriate behavior. The review determined certain
behavior by Nair was inconsistent with the company’s code of
conduct.
“We made this decision after a thorough review and careful
consideration,” said Ford President and CEO Jim Hackett. “Ford is
deeply committed to providing and nurturing a safe and respectful
culture and we expect our leaders to fully uphold these
values.”
Said Nair: “I sincerely regret that there have been instances
where I have not exhibited leadership behaviors consistent with the
principles that the Company and I have always espoused. I continue
to have the utmost faith in the people of Ford Motor Company and
wish them continued success in the future.”
Nair has been president of Ford North America since June 1,
2017. Prior to that, he served as Ford’s head of global product
development and chief technical officer.
Nair’s replacement will be subject to an announcement in the
near future.
