Ford Australia took another hit when its president Bill Osborne resigned soon after the announcement that 350 jobs would be lost at Victorian plants.
Mr Osborne has been in the job for only six months but has worked at Ford Motor Company for 18 years in engineering and executive roles.
He will relocate to America to take up a chief executive position for an independently-owned publicly listed company, Ford spokeswoman Sinead McAlary said.
She said the timing of the two events were unrelated.
"He has received an offer that fulfills a career dream for him," Ms McAlary said.
She would not say which company Mr Osborne was joining but said it was outside the automotive industry...

according to other articles, Mr. Mulally was already scheduled for a visit to Australia next week
