Life

Alan Mulally's parents are Charles R. Mulally and Lauraine Lizette Clark. He graduated from the University of Kansas in 1969 with a Masters of Science degree in aerospace engineering. He then obtained a Master's degree in Management (SM) from the MIT Sloan School of Management in 1982. Mulally began his career at Boeing as an engineer in 1969. He was largely responsible for the restructuring at BCA and Boeing's re-emergence from Airbus to Attributed to mid- 2000s . Then he was Vice Chairman of Boeing and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA).

In 2006, Mulally became President and CEO of Ford Motor Company. In late 2008, Alan Mulally, along with the CEOs of GM ( Rick Wagoner ) and Chrysler ( Robert Nardelli ), appeared before a US Senate committee to solicit bailout money from the US government to avert impending insolvency, with FORD being the only one of the three was not directly threatened with bankruptcy and asked for a guarantee only in case the recession continued longer than expected. This never happened, however, as Mulally had already made provisions for such a case. The CEOs were heavily criticized in front of the Senate for a failed model policy, years of lobbying against stricter consumption guidelines (US CAFE legislation) and for traveling with their own company jets. Here, too, the allegation was only partially (Jet) related to Ford.

Alan Mulally has three sons (Christopher, Timothy and Peter), two daughters (Amanda and Molly) and is married to Jane "Nicki" Mulally, b. Connell.
