Ford Motor Co., the second-biggest U.S. automaker, named a new U.S. sales chief whose challenge will be to maintain a sales lead over Toyota Motor Corp. and its growing willingness to discount cars such as the Camry.
Ken Czubay, 64, the current U.S. sales chief, is retiring, effective Nov. 1. He will be replaced by John Felice, 51, the Dearborn, Michigan-based company said today in a statement. Ford also named Barb Samardzich, 54, chief operating officer in Europe, where she now heads product development.
