MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --The Manufacturing Leadership Council, a global business network for senior industrial executives, today announced the election of Dana S. Deasy, group chief information officer and group vice president, information technology and services at BP, to the Manufacturing Leadership Board of Governors.
In a unanimous vote, the Board of Governors, which steers the Manufacturing Leadership Council and its global community of more than 5,300 industry executives, approved Deasy's nomination earlier this month. With his appointment, the Board of Governor's ranks expand to 17 members, who hail from organizations such as Ford Motor Company, Lockheed Martin, Dell, Cisco Systems, UCLA, MIT, L'Oreal, the University of Cambridge, and GlaxoSmithKline.
"The world around us is moving rapidly in terms of new technology and trends," said Deasy. "It is critical for executives to work together and create a way forward that embraces the changing world. I believe the Leadership Board is key in enabling this for the manufacturing industry and I am honored to become a member of the Manufacturing Leadership Board."
Deasy is responsible for all global IT, indirect procurement and group real estate strategies and key capabilities that support BP's multiple business operations – including refining, marketing, exploration, production and commodity trading. He led a major transformation project across BP's entire IT organization to help maximize the company's competitive edge in the energy industry and increase the value IT provides to its businesses. Prior to BP, Deasy held senior roles delivering large scale IT strategies and projects in General Motors, Tyco International, Siemens, and Rockwell Space Systems Division in support of its Space Shuttle program. He holds a Bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Southern California and a Master's degree from National University.
"We are delighted to welcome Dana Deasy to the Board of Governors," said Global Vice President and Editorial Director David R. Brousell of the Manufacturing Leadership Community. "Dana's long and distinguished career at the forefront of IT leadership for major manufacturing enterprises, combined with his extensive global energy sector insights, is a great asset to the Board in its continued research and exploration of the critical issues facing the industry."
