Ford reshuffles EV unit, Doug Field out as Farley chases 8% margin

Ford reshuffles EV unit, Doug Field out as Farley chases 8% margin

Published by skeptic

Ford is reorganizing its standalone electric vehicle division — and losing the executive who built it. The automaker said today that Doug Field, its chief EV, digital, and design officer, will leave the company next month after nearly five years leading Ford’s push into software-defined EVs. In his place, Ford isn’t bringing in another Silicon Valley hire. It’s folding the EV, digital, and design group into its global manufacturing operations under COO Kumar Galhotra, in a new unit called Product Creation and Industrialization. Updated: the article’s lead was updated from Ford ‘dissolving’ its EV unit to ‘reshuffling’. The end of the Model e era Field joined Ford in 2021 from Apple, where he ran the company’s secretive car program. Before that, he was senior VP of engineering at Tesla, where he led development of the Model 3. His hiring was the centerpiece of CEO Jim Farley’s bet that Ford needed to import Silicon Valley DNA to compete with Tesla and Chinese automakers.

For Doug Wilson’s neighbors, CNN documentary a reminder Moscow is Christian nationalism’s ground zero

MOSCOW, Idaho (FāVS News) — Joann Muneta expected to be angry, as she usually is when a major news outlet turns its cameras on pastor Doug Wilson and the Christian nationalist movement growing in her backyard. But after watching CNN’s latest documentary air Sunday night (March 22), the 90-year-old Moscow activist felt something she hadn’t expected. “I was so sad after it was over,” said Muneta, who has lived in Moscow for 65 years and is chair of the Latah County Human Rights Task Force. “Usually I get angry. But this time I was just so sad.” CNN anchor and chief investigative correspondent Pamela Brown’s hourlong documentary, “The Rise of Christian Nationalism,” aired on “The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper.” It was Brown’s second major report on Wilson, whose reach now extends from his Christ Church pulpit in Moscow to the halls of power in Washington. For many in Moscow’s surrounding Palouse region, their reaction was familiar even when the emotions were not. The episode included accounts from women who are former members of Christian …

In November 2025, the Radio Times Gaming team popped along to Target3D’s motion-capture studio in East London for an in-depth tour of how actors bring characters to life in games, with industry heavyweights Jennifer English, Samantha Béart, Luisa Guerreira and Doug Cockle to show us the ropes. We already have an overview of the event and a group interview in full to watch on the Radio Times Gaming YouTube channel, so be sure to check those out too! Not only that, but we got to sit down for a one-on-one chat with each of them, too, with Doug Cockle, voice of Geralt in The Witcher games, being the first to come out. Check out the full video above or on YouTube. With such a storied career, we were curious to know where and how it all began, and it turns out, it was almost by complete accident. “When I was growing up, video games didn’t have voices in them,” Cockle tells us, reminiscing that it was just “Donkey Kong and Pac-Man and things like that”. …

Rep. Doug LaMalfa, R-Calif., leaves a meeting of the House Republican Conference at the Capitol Hill Club on Wednesday, January 22, 2025. Tom Williams | Cq-roll Call, Inc. | Getty Images California Republican Rep. Doug LaMalfa died Tuesday, his office announced. He was 65. “Early this morning Congressman Doug LaMalfa returned home to the Lord. He leaves a lasting legacy of servant leadership kindness to the North State,” LaMalfa’s chief of staff, Mark Spannagel, said in a statement. “Congressman LaMalfa cared deeply for the people he served and worked tirelessly to hold the government to its word to fix our failing forests, build water storage, and leave people to be free to choose what is best for themselves.” LaMalfa’s death tightens the razor-thin House majority and could imperil Speaker Mike Johnson’s grip on the chamber. The House stood at 219 Republicans and 213 Democrats after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., resigned on Monday. LaMalfa’s death brings the House to 218 Republicans. Democrats are favored to pick up additional seats from special elections in the coming …
