Replacing Ray Day is Mark Truby, who until this week worked as Ford’s Vice President of Communications in the Asia Pacific market.

While with Ford, he’s also served as director of global corporate communications, as communications director for Executive Chairman Bill Ford, and as Vice President of Communications in Europe, Middle East & Africa.
Mark Truby is a graduate of Marshall University in West Virginia. As Ford’s new VP of Communications, he is responsible for leading all of the automaker’s communications and public relations activities around the globe. His predecessor, Ray Day, will provide consulting services to Ford until he retires from the company next year.
