Even the term "cockpit" reflects the driver's experience as similar to that of an airplane pilot, with an array of sophisticated features close at hand to maximize comfort and control. Visteon defines the cockpit as a system that incorporates the physical and functional interfaces of plastic, vehicle structure, steering, and climate systems, all designed and engineered with a consumer focuson style, comfort, convenience, and safety and security. As Visteon's interior product strategy director, Faraj is responsible for the company's global interior new business development. This role includes leading Visteon's global technology, manufacturing strategy and development of strategic alliances and joint ventures that support Visteon's focus on innovation and speed-to-market for interior components, modules and integrated systems.

"At Visteon, as the largest cockpit supplier in the world, we are poised to deliver a variety of features and functions that enhance the driving experience."
