Ford Marketing Chief Departs

Anne Belec, Director - Global Marketing at Ford Motor Co., is reported to be leaving the company after nearly 24 years.

The decision comes less than a year after Belec, previously CEO of Volvo Cars North America, took up the new role. Reports in Advertising Age (www.adage.com ) say her next destination and successor are unknown at this stage.

Based in Dearborn, Michigan, Belec was responsible for marketing strategies and processes, brand positioning and consumer insights and reported to VP Marketing and Communications Jim Farley.

Before Volvo, she worked as Director of Sales Planning and Distribution for Ford Motor Company, Network Business Development Manager and General Marketing Manager at Lincoln-Mercury Division, and Worldwide Marketing Plans Manager (Product Development) at Ford. She holds an MBA from Fuqua School of Business at Duke University, and two BAs from the University of Ottawa, in business administration and marketing.
