In a Mustang on the Empire State Building, April 16, 2014
The time has come for another pivot in my professional career. My time in the Ford Content Factory is drawing to a close this week. On August 18, I’ll be joining Navigant Research as a senior research analyst working on smart transportation.
I’ve loved working with my colleagues in the content factory including Carrie Roca, Sue Carney, Jeff Majeske, Zach Peterson, Shaun Byron, Ken Welsch, Marsha Low Pund, Chuck Arehart, Karen Pitton, Keith Price, Tommy Simon, Dave McWilliams, Stephanie Pease, Mike Wood, Ryan Koehler, Tom Shea, the Ford product communications staff and of course the late, great Jennifer Moore.
I’ve been fortunate to work on some awesome projects during my time with Ford including the Fusion Story web app.
Without a doubt however, the highlight was being entrusted with telling the Ford Mustang story over the past year. That included celebrating the first 50 years of Mustang heritage and then teaching the world about the all-new 2015 Mustang. Along with the global reveal on December 5, 2013, we put a 2015 convertible on the observation deck of the Empire State Building on April 16, 2014. Big thumbs up to Ryan Koehler for his awesome video work.
My sincere thanks to the members of Team Mustang that have been so helpful including Dave Pericak, Prakash Patel, Steve Denby, Kemal Curic, Doyle Letson, Melanie Banker, Steve Ling, Jim Owens, Alan Hall, Monique Brentley, Jayson Demchak, Brian Cotter and John Clor at Ford Racing. There are way too many other people to list here but they all have my gratitude for helping me find and develop story ideas.
However, the time has come for me to move on. As a senior analyst with Navigant, I’ll be watching the smart transportation sector. For those of you working in the industry, please keep me in mind and let me know whenever you have any news or information that might be relevant.
