Ford Names New Global Head of Luxury and Electrification: A Leadership Shift In a significant move, Matt VanDyke has been appointed as the new global head of luxury and electrification at Ford, marking a major change in the company's leadership structure. With 14 years of experience under his belt at the American automaker, VanDyke is set to take on a key role in shaping the company's future in the rapidly evolving electric vehicle market. His appointment comes as a result of a leadership shuffle, with Tim Kuniskis, who previously held the position, moving into a new role as head of American brands for Stellantis, the parent company of Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep. As Ford continues to invest heavily in electric and luxury vehicles, VanDyke's expertise and experience will be crucial in driving the company's growth and competitiveness in these key areas.
