From Quiz MediaBreak - We'll Give You the World
Answer:
Lee Iacocca
After RoboCop's successful first night patrolling the city, in which he prevents an armed robbery, foils an attempted rape, and ends the hostage crisis at City Hall, he is publicly introduced to the city and the world by OCP with a visit to Lee Iacocca Elementary School in Detroit, an event captured by the cameras of MediaBreak. During the visit, while interacting with the school's children, he is asked for a message for children watching, at which he simply tells them to "stay out of trouble".
Lee Iacocca graduated from Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 1945 with a degree in industrial engineering, following that up with a master's degree in mechanical engineering from Princeton in 1946, from where he got a job with the Ford Motor Company. However, although initially employed as an engineer, he quickly asked to be moved to sales and marketing. In 1956, while working as a sales manager in Philadelphia, he devised the "56 for 56" marketing campaign, which quickly went national, and led to his moving through the ranks of the company's management. He was named vice-president of the car and truck division in 1965, executive vice-president in 1967 and finally company president in 1970. However, despite being involved in the design and introduction of a number of notable models, Iacocca clashed with the company chairman, Henry Ford II, and was eventually fired in 1978. However, the same year he was appointed as president and CEO of Ford's rival, Chrysler, with whom he remained until retiring in 1992.
