What is the name of the villain in Pixar's Cars 2 who leads the Allinol scheme?

The story behind the answer

Miles Axlerod leads the Allinol scheme in Pixar's Cars 2.

Axlerod presents himself as a former oil baron who has converted to electric power. He creates the World Grand Prix to promote Allinol, a supposedly clean alternative fuel, and uses the event to publicize his environmental claims.

The film later reveals that Axlerod is secretly coordinating the plot. Allinol is designed to make cars explode when exposed to electromagnetic pulses, allowing the conspirators to discredit alternative fuels and restore demand for oil.

Axlerod is also the hidden mastermind behind the attacks involving the race cars. His public image as an environmental reformer is therefore a deliberate cover for the villain's plan.
