Leadership changes at Ford Motor Co. make Jim Padilla perhaps the most powerful No. 2 in the auto industry.
The incoming Ford president will have sweeping oversight over the automaker's global operations.
Though CEO Bill Ford has ultimate authority and leads the automaker's turnaround efforts, he has relied heavily on the counsel of Padilla and other Ford Motor veterans.
With the February 1 retirement of current President Nick Scheele and Vice Chairman Allan Gilmour, the role of Bill Ford's key adviser goes to Padilla.
