Ford's tech chief Doug Field exits amid leadership reshuffle focusing on EV and product innovation.

Doug Field, who led Ford's electric vehicle and technology strategies since 2021, is leaving the company as part of a major leadership reorganization. Field was instrumental in advancing Ford's software and EV initiatives, including overseeing the tech stack for Ford and Lincoln vehicles and leading the secretive skunkworks program for a low-cost EV. The reorganization merges Ford's EV and design teams into a new 'product creation and industrialization' group led by COO Kumar Galhotra, aiming to refresh most of Ford's vehicle lineup by 2029 and achieve an 8% profit margin in its commercial business. This shift signals Ford's continued focus on innovation and scaling its EV ambitions.
