Maurice Moulton is a principal engineer and manager of the Resource Strategy Department in the Development Planning business unit within the North American Auto Development Center (ADC) of Honda Development & Manufacturing of America, LLC (HDMA). In this role, Moulton is responsible for North American automotive R&D resource strategy, development planning, and business competitiveness.
Moulton began his career at Honda in 1995, as an engineer in the engine research department of Honda R&D Americas in Raymond, Ohio.
From 1995 to 2001, Moulton's responsibilities included engine calibration, emissions control system development, and project leadership. While on assignment in Tochigi, Japan, he trained in calibrating the emission control system for the Acura MDX engine and, upon his return to Ohio, helped to make MDX the industry's first SUV to achieve a 50-state Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) rating from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
In 2005, after spending several years with another automaker, Moulton returned to Honda R&D in Ohio in the Design Strategy Department, responsible for product development process improvement. He was instrumental in growing the organization's capabilities to include a key performance indicator (KPI) strategy for its operations function, product lifecycle management, and product benchmarking methods.
In 2011, Moulton became a principal engineer and joined Honda R&D's Advanced Auto Planning Division. In this role, he was responsible for market analysis methods and contributed to developing the Acura brand strategy, product improvement proposals, and future product competitiveness.
In 2013, Moulton was assigned to a new corporate planning organization at Honda R&D, where he engaged leaders in North America and Japan to help establish the vision and implement the business, resource, method and tool strategies to significantly impact Honda's North America R&D competitiveness. Moulton was assigned as manager in 2015, and has been a key leader in growing the scope and value of this organization for the past ten years as the company's business needs continued to evolve.
In April 2023, he assumed his current role as manager of the Resource Strategy Department.
Moulton is a graduate of the University of Michigan, where he earned a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering. He also earned an executive education certificate in managing product design and development from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
