His successes include the new Ford Fusion, Explorer, Mustang, EcoSport and Lincoln MKZ.

From 2001 to 2006, Callum led the design transformation for Mazda. Based in Japan, he brought to life a new generation of Mazda vehicles, including the iconic MX-5 sports car and CX-7 crossover, along with the spirited Mazda2, Mazda3, Mazda5 and Mazda6 lines.

Callum joined Ford in 1995. He has designed key North American products like the 2000 Ford Taurus and last-generation Ford Super Duty.

His international design career started in 1982, when he began working for Chrysler Corporation, U.K. and PSA Peugeot Citroën on passenger and commercial vehicles. In 1988, he joined Ghia SpA as a consultant designer, where his work included the reveal of the Ford Ghia Via concept vehicle in 1989.

Callum graduated from Napier University in Edinburgh with a bachelor’s degree in industrial design. He holds a master’s in transportation design from the Royal College of Art in London.
