I met Alan Mulally today!!!!!!

[Euphoric One]

I got to meet 1 of maybe 3 or 4 people on Earth that I would actually WANT to meet today; Alan Mulally. The guy is as down to Earth as can be, cracking jokes, mingling with people, signing autographs, etc. Completely awesome. It's almost surreal seeing someone like that right there in front of you. Of course I froze and barely said a word. :nonono:

Made my day nonetheless. :rockon:

That man is doing incredibly well right now, Ford is lucky to have him.

 

[Stroszek]

I'd love to meet the man. Of course I probably would've frozen too. His achievements at Ford alone are highly admirable and he seems to be the kind of individual every exec should aspire to emulate.

He is a great man and I am very impressed.

No pic?

Pretty cool. Where did this take place?
I met and shook the hand of a billionaire years ago, Alan Gerry, founder of Cablevision. Don't know if anyone has heard of him. Self made billionaire I was told. None of it rubbed off though.

That's awesome, he's definitely someone I'd like to meet if I had the chance. It really means something if you can turn Boeing around, and he's doing a great job with Ford and continuing to move the whole company forward.

Who the hell is Alan Mulally?

He is a business genius. Someone who went from running an airplane company to a car company and made a flawless transition. Not only did he make a smooth transition, he is leading ford back to the top, fast.

Had a 20 minute sit down with William Schreyer, CEO of Merrill Lynch once. Back in the early 90's. About the best I can do.

What a cool person he was to meet. Very down to Earth, but feared by many for some reason. It's amazing how you can feel the power of these types just by sitting in a room with them.

 

[XtraTQ]

That's awesome. I would have froze too.

Oh sweet.

He was an EVP at Boeing and CEO of their commercial airline division. He was actually passed over for the top CEO position.

Helluva nice guy

No pics yet. My buddy is friends with the photographer taking pics of the event, so he may have some that he is going to send us.

There was an event today to celebrate the launch of the Taurus and Taurus SHO. Tons of press and people everywhere. Matt Kenseth was there signing autographs when Mulally shows up. Suddenly, the line of people waiting to meet Kenseth was completely dwarfed by the line of people waiting to meeting THE MAN!

BTW, the Taurus SHO is absolutely out of this world. I need one. Bad.

When you get it don't forget to post in our new SHO forum.

 

[svtfocus2cobra]

That's awesome. I don't know what I would ever ask someone of that business caliber. I'd probably just try to talk cars with him.

I find this hilarious to be honest......

And that happened in 2006 I believe. It would be a morale killer to see your new CEO show up in a Competitor's car.
