Ford Motor Company has named Mano Mannoochahr its new Chief AI and Data Officer.
This was not simply an AI and data search. Ford needed someone who had led at enormous scale and understood how technology and AI get applied inside a complex industrial business.
Mano brings a rare combination of both. As Chief Data, Analytics & AI Officer at Verizon, he led AI and data strategy across one of the country’s largest and most complex enterprises. Earlier in his career, he spent more than 20 years at companies including John Deere and GE, giving him a deep understanding of manufacturing and industrial tech.
Few leaders bring that combination of modern AI experience, enterprise scale, and industrial grounding.
It was a pleasure partnering with Ford’s Enterprise Technology and Executive Search teams on the search.
