Ford Focus Chief Engineer leaves Ford for Yacht Builder

From AB

******
Jens Ludmann, the German engineer in Ford's European arm who led
the
development of the S-Max, Mondeo and 2012 Focus, is departing the
automaker
after a successful 10-year run. Where to? He's leaving the
Blue Oval to join the
deep blue sea, taking over as CEO of Bavaria
Yachtbau, a German builder of
sailing and motor yachts.

While his industry and title will change, the aim of
his job won't:
turn compelling ideas into profitable products. Having done that
with
three of Ford's best known vehicles in just ten years, Bavaria
Yachtbau
could have made a great score, and Ford has a massive gap to
fill.
