John Daniel

With over a decade of experience in the automotive industry, I bring deep expertise in vehicle systems, validation, interiors, powertrain, and supplier management. In my current role as Product Management Team Leader at Ford Performance, I lead Product Sign-Off and serve as the Design & Release Engineer for Interior Systems.

I'm currently pursuing my MBA at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, where I'm building on my engineering foundation to develop strategic and leadership capabilities. Through experiences like the Michigan Investment Challenge, I’ve sharpened my ability to drive innovation and deliver results across cross-functional teams.

My passion lies in shaping the future of mobility by combining technical excellence with strong business insight. The WMBA journey has been incredible—full of learning, growth, and collaboration with a diverse and inspiring network of peers.
