Ford Motor said the head of its core North American business, Raj Nair, has left the car company following allegations of inappropriate behavior. A Ford source said the company had recently received information through an anonymous employee tip line and conducted an investigation that found Nair's behavior was "inconsistent with the company’s code of conduct." “We made this decision after a thorough review and careful consideration,” Ford President and CEO Jim Hackett said in a statement. While the details of Nair's behavior are unknown, the timing of his departure is unfortunate, following Mark Fields' ouster as CEO last May. "Another senior leadership change is the last thing Ford needs to deal with right now," said Jessica Caldwell, executive editor of industry analysis at Edmunds.com.
