Another Management Shakeup as Ford Prepares to Report Earnings

Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) announced an overhaul of its top executive ranks on Tuesday. In the latest in a series of moves that began with Jim Hackett's appointment as CEO in May, a rising star will take over Ford's global marketing -- and four of Ford's senior leaders will depart.

Probably the most significant of today's moves is the news that Kumar Galhotra will become Ford's new chief marketing Officer. Galhotra is a well-regarded executive who has earned praise for leading the revival of Ford's Lincoln luxury brand. Galhotra will continue to lead Lincoln as he takes on a significant new set of responsibilities.
