Ford US senior managers retiring
Two Ford Motor Company senior managers – Hau Thai-Tang and Frederiek Toney – have announced they will retire later this year while Dave Bozeman is joining the company to help advance the Ford+ plan after successful tenures at Amazon, Caterpillar and Harley-Davidson.

In recent years, he headed product development and purchasing organisations as the company brought to market products such as the revived Bronco and Maverick, Puma, Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning.
Toney latterly ran the customer service division, modernising and growing key businesses like customer services, parts and accessories. He held numerous positions in logistics, operations, and parts and service before taking over management of FCSD and becoming a company officer in 2009.
Bozeman will start with the company on 1 September as vice president of the global customer service division and the enthusiast vehicles product line in Ford Blue.
He will also head the Ford Blue enthusiast brands in the United States, including Bronco, Mustang and Raptor.
