Commenting on his new role via LinkedIn, Ford says: “I am happy to share that I am starting a new position as a senior vice president at Marsh in the strategic risk consulting practice. Thank you to my friends and colleagues at Stellantis for your support over the last six years. It was a pleasure and honour working with all of you. Off to the next adventure!”
