Bill Ford is adamant he will always remain involved with his family’s company, but that doesn’t mean he has to remain CEO. In an interview with Newsweek, Mr. Ford was asked if he felt his job was on the line. “I’ve always said that titles are not important to me,” he replied, suggesting he wouldn’t mind if someone else took over the CEO post. “This company has been part of my life since the day I was born and will be until the day I die.” Ford was then asked why he approached Renault- Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn about working at the automaker. “I’m always looking to bring talent into this company,” he said. “If I can find somebody [...] —I’ll go get him. That is regardless of the position.” Newsweek then asked Ford if that would apply all the way up to his own job. “Absolutely,” he said.
