Ford Energy Gets New President as Veteran Lisa Drake Retires

Ford has appointed Dave Carroll as the new president of its Ford Energy subsidiary, a move that marks a leadership shift within the company’s energy-focused operations. Carroll steps into the role following the retirement of Lisa Drake, who spent more than three decades with the automaker.

Drake’s tenure at Ford spanned 32 years, during which she held various key positions across the organization. Her retirement signifies the end of an era for the company, as she played a significant role in shaping Ford’s strategic initiatives, particularly in the energy sector.

Carroll’s appointment comes at a time when Ford is intensifying its focus on electrification and energy management solutions. With his new responsibilities, Carroll is expected to drive growth and innovation within Ford Energy, aligning with the company’s broader goals of sustainable mobility.

The leadership transition underscores Ford’s commitment to strengthening its energy business, which is becoming increasingly important as the automotive industry shifts toward electric vehicles and renewable energy integration.
