A high-profile executive at Ford has reportedly left the company over accusations of inappropriate behavior, according to an article in Automotive News on Monday that cited an unnamed source with knowledge of the situation.

Ford’s North American President Raj Nair left the automaker, following an investigation into “inappropriate behavior.”

Nair has since been hired as President and COO of Multimatic, a Canadian company that makes auto parts and builds the Ford GT, a much-admired supercar that competes with the likes of Ferrari, McLaren, and others.
