Ford Motor Co. said Monday that its global design lead will retire, to be replaced by an automotive industry veteran who most recently worked for French automaker Groupe Renault SA.
Moray Callum, whom the Blue Oval described in a news release as one of the industry's "most influential design leaders," will retire as the company's vice president of design for Ford and Lincoln effective May 1, capping a 38-year career in product development. Anthony Lo, most recently vice president of exterior design for Renault, will start at Ford April 1.
The changeover is just the latest in a series of senior-level staffing shakeups since CEO Jim Farley took over Oct. 1. In the last few months, the automaker has announced a new sales leader for the U.S. and Canada, the replacement of its chief financial officer, and retirements of its chief information officer, president of its international markets group, and chief manufacturing and labor affairs officer, among other changes.
