Rodney O'Neal was born in Dayton, Ohio to parents who stressed the importance of education very early on. In his early years, he delivered The Dayton Daily News, and at 13, was named newspaper delivery boy of the year. He later worked in the newspaper's circulation department until he left for college.
He joined General Motors in 1976 as a production engineer, making steering wheels.[2] A year later, he was promoted to front line supervisor. Over the course of the next several years, he would hold a number of engineering, production and manufacturing positions in locations throughout the United States, Portugal and Canada. In 1997, he became vice president of General Motors and general manager of Delphi Interior Systems.[2] In 1998, when Delphi became an independent company, he became vice president. Since 2007, he has served as president and CEO.[2]
In November 2011, O'Neal rang the bell at the New York Stock Exchange to mark Delphi's initial public offering.
He is a member of the Executive Leadership Council, an organization which supports African-Americans in leadership positions in business, education, or the community.[2] He also sits on the board of Inroads, an organization which aims to offer internships in the corporate world to ethnic minorities.[2] He sits on the advisory board of Focus: HOPE, a Detroit-based organization which tackles racism and poverty.[2]
