Henry Ford’s great-great-granddaughter has become the first woman in history to take a seat on the company’s board of directors.
Alexandra Ford English, 33, who has an MBA from Harvard and an undergraduate degree from Stanford, will begin her tenure on the 14-member board immediately, which will also include her cousin, Henry Ford III, the founder’s great-great-grandson, according to a report.
English, the daughter of the company’s executive chairman Bill Ford, joined the 118-year-old company in 2017 and works as director of corporate strategy.
Both Ford and English were elected to the board in March.
