On August 4th, Alan Mulally celebrated his 75th birthday. Mulally retired from Ford Motor Company in 2014, after returning the company to profitability following its struggles from the late-2000s recession. Under Mulally’s leadership, Ford was the only American major car manufacturer to avoid a bailout fund provided by the government.
Mulally’s achievements at Ford are chronicled in Bryce Hoffman’s book American Icon: Alan Mulally and the Fight to Save Ford Motor Company.
