Alan Mulally

CEO
Ford

Mulally runs a car company with one of the most storied histories in the world–its founder Henry Ford began the automotive revolution. Prior to joining Ford in September 2006, he worked in another transportation business, serving as executive vice president of Boeing, and president and chief executive officer of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, having joined the company in 1969. He has served on the advisory boards of NASA and MIT, as well as the U.S. Air Force Scientific Advisory Board. Not surprisingly, he flies planes and drives fast cars.

Ford recently released SYNC, a voice-activation package on some models that integrates the content and functionality of mobile devices with the car itself. SYNC also adds apps to the car, though it’s not clear what these features will mean for the future of American automakers.
