The Verge Interview: Ford CEO Alan Mulally

For the second time this year, we had a chance to sit down with Ford CEO Alan Mulally — this time in the penthouse of the Hotel on Rivington in New York City. In the half-hour conversation, we discuss the CEO’s time at Boeing as a airplane cockpit engineer, alternative energy sources, and how President Kennedy’s focus on space exploration inspired Mulally to work in aerospace technology. You’ll also hear Alan’s thoughts on how to get jobs back in America, what Ford thinks about environmental responsibility, and how Alan brought the Taurus back to life. No, really. It’s a good time, so grab a beverage of your choice check out the full interview.
