Ford Names Codina Customer Service Division Vice President

Ford Motor Company has named Francisco "Cisco" Codina vice president, Ford Customer Service Division, effective immediately.

He succeeds Kathleen Ligocki, who has been appointed president and chief executive officer of Tower Automotive, a supplier of body and lower vehicle structures, suspension components and modules.

"Kathleen is a talented automotive executive, and this is a terrific opportunity for her," said Bill Ford, chairman and CEO. "I want to thank her for all of her contributions to the company during her time here."

Codina joined Ford in 1977 in the Customer Service Division as a parts and service representative in New Orleans. He held several leadership positions for 15 years at FCSD before moving to Lincoln-Mercury marketing. He has also worked in two international assignments – as president of Ford Argentina and in Marketing and Sales in Ford of Mexico.

He most recently was General Marketing Manager of Ford Division, a position he has held since March 2001. Codina will report to Jim O'Connor, Group Vice President of North America Marketing, Sales and Service.

"Cisco's past experience at the Customer Service Division as well as his knowledge of dealerships and the needs of customers from his job at Ford Division will be valuable in his new role," added Mr. Ford. "I look forward to working with Cisco as he leads the division in its effort to help meet the goals of our Revitalization Plan."
