As we work to deliver Ford+, our company strategy, we must continue to capitalise on our strengths, transform our automotive operations and deliver must-have products and services across all of our markets,” says Dianne Craig, president, Ford International Markets Group.

“I look forward to the new challenge as we develop our long-term growth strategy for Africa from within the African continent,” Hill says.
