Imagine a “Mark Finkelman” as the successor to Henry Ford.
Finkelman became Fields and now, Mark Fields has succeeded America’s most notorious anti-Semites as President and CFO of Ford.
Jeffrey Gurock, Professor of Jewish history at Yeshiva University: “I don’t think Henry Ford would have dreamed of a day where a Jew would [be] the head of his motor company. Part of his anti-Semitism was that Jews control but don’t work. He never would have dreamed that there would be a Jew putting people to work in the Ford Motor Company.”
Fields succeeds Seattle’s Alan Mulally.
