"This success and his strong track record of strengthening brands, driving sales and growing market share in Brazil will help Ford of Canada continue to build on its strong momentum in the marketplace."

"I want to sincerely thank Bill for his commitment and leadership at Ford of Canada. The results in Canada have been a bright spot in our North American operations," Fields added. "During the past few years in Canada, the company has increased retail sales, worked to stabilize market share and strengthened dealer relations, which ultimately means a better showroom experience for our customers."
