Former Hyundai and Mercedes-Benz designer Joel Piaskowski joins Ford Motor Co. on Oct. 1 as head of exterior layout for Ford in the Americas.
Piaskowski's move from Mercedes-Benz was confirmed by a Ford spokeswoman on Monday.
Piaskowski, 41, designed several of Hyundai's recent concept cars and is credited with designing the Hyundai Genesis coupe and sedan.
Piaskowski joined Hyundai after spending 13 years at General Motors. He left Hyundai, where he was chief designer, at the finish of 2008 to join Mercedes-Benz. He worked as head of design for the automaker's advanced design and style studio in Irvine, Calif. He left that job in March.
"Keeping your eyes open as you walk by means of life is extremely crucial since you by no means know what's going to inspire you," Piaskowski stated about his method to design and style in an interview with Automotive News in 2005.
Piaskowski is really a graduate of the College for Creative Studies in Detroit.
