Alan Mulally (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/alan+mulally/) will not be following his successful term as president and CEO of Ford Motor Company (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) with a run at an even bigger presidency. Rumors that the 68-year-old former Boeing exec would make a run at the White House sprouted after his apparent dodging of a reporter's questions about a potential candidacy during a forum in Indianapolis.
"I really think it's important that we all pull together. We really need to pull together around a compelling vision for our country and a comprehensive strategy to do it and work together. We really need to do it," Mulally said at the conference, according to The Detroit News.

Mulally confirmed he'd passed on the role in June, and in July he took a seat on the board of Google (http://www.autoblog.com/2014/07/16/former-ford-ceo-alan-mulally-google-board/).Former Ford CEO Mulally won't run for president (http://www.autoblog.com/2014/09/15/mulally-ford-no-president-bid/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Mon, 15 Sep 2014 13:59:00 EST.
