Default Ford’s SVT Boss Will Run Brazil Operations

Ford’s SVT Boss Will Run Brazil Operations

http://news.windingroad.com/body-sty...il-operations/



Quote:
Ford Motor Company is expected to announce tomorrow that Hau Thai-Tang, Director, Advanced Product Creation and Special Vehicle Team, will leave the company’s North American operations to run Ford of Brazil (Ford do Brazil), according to WINDING ROAD’s sources within the company. While this is undoubtedly a promotion for the Vietnamese executive, one can’t help but wonder how Ford’s Mustang and SVT products will be developed in the future without his stewardship. Our feature story on the SVT boss, which was published in this month’s issue of WINDING ROAD, gave Thai-Tang the lion’s share of the credit for the success of Ford’s go-fast products. Carroll Shelby tends to agree with us, too.

“There have been some ****ty Mustangs,” said Shelby. “But someone always comes back with a vision of how the Mustang should be–and that’s Hau Thai-Tang. Hau brought the Mustang back.”

Who will look after the Mustang / SVT now? One hopes that Ford gives Thai-Tang the opportunity to pick his successor. Or, at the very least, has a plan for him to return to North America within a short time frame. It’s no secret that Thai-Tang is one of the company’s best leaders.

Ford’s Brazilian operations represent a significant piece of the company’s finances. Ford do Brazil has been the most profitable unit of the company’s global operations for some time.

Some people get kicked upstairs where they can't be heard or have an impact. This guy got kicked to Brazil.

Good for him and 'Ford do Brazil', but horrible for the US.
