Salesforce Product Line Manager

• “In the military, I developed the ability to stay calm under stress and execute, and that has served me well in my career at Ford. I grew up working on a farm and we used our Ford tractors, F-150s and Broncos a lot. I wanted to work for a company that builds the products that had such an impact on me growing up. Ford products were a big part of my family, and now that I’m here, I like how the culture makes me feel like part of the Ford Family.”

Luke, U.S. Air Force

Financial Analyst

“A pleasant surprise for me was the concern for the customer relationship. At Ford Credit, the amount of fees we would waive even if we incurred costs, the ability to defer loan payments, the disaster relief programs, etc. really showed me that the company puts people first. I was nervous to work for a corporation as I was not going to sell my soul to make widgets, but Ford has never made me feel embarrassed of my job or company.”

Harold, U.S. Marine

GDIA Command Center Operations Supervisor

“Learning to remain calm and focused on the task at hand no matter what is going on around me or who is involved has been a skill that has served me well in the workplace. This especially helps in a crisis when critical programs or systems are down, and you need a cool head to resolve the issue quickly.”

Brent, U.S. Navy

Plant Vehicle Team Resident Engineer and Supervisor, Flat Rock Assembly Plant

“Your skills are valuable. The steep learning curve repeatedly demonstrated in military technical and mechanical fields leads to rapid uptake on Ford processes and technologies.”
