Alan Mulally: podcast appearances and interviews

Alan Roger Mulally, born on August 4, 1945, is an American aerospace engineer and manufacturing executive. He served as the chief executive officer of Boeing Commercial Airplanes from 1998 to 2006, where he was largely credited with Boeing's resurgence against Airbus in the mid-2000s. In 2006, he became the president and CEO of the Ford Motor Company, holding the position until 2014. During his tenure at Ford, Mulally is recognized for orchestrating a significant turnaround of the company during the Great Recession, a period marked by bankruptcy declarations and federal bailouts for American competitors. His leadership achievements at Ford have been documented in the book American Icon: Alan Mulally and the Fight to Save Ford Motor Company by Bryce G. Hoffman, published in 2012. After leaving Ford, Mulally was appointed to the Board of Directors of Google in 2014, a role he held until 2024. In 2015, he was inducted into the International Air & Space Hall of Fame at the San Diego Air & Space Museum, acknowledging his contributions to aerospace and manufacturing industries.
