Ortberg is an industry veteran with more than 35 years in the aerospace sector. Heading up Boeing will be his biggest challenge yet.
Boeing has named Kelly Ortberg, the former CEO of Rockwell Collins, as its new president and CEO. He will succeed Dave Calhoun.
Steven Mollenkopf, Chair of the Board at Boeing said: “Kelly is an experienced leader who is deeply respected in the aerospace industry, with a well-earned reputation for building strong teams and running complex engineering and manufacturing companies. We look forward to working with him as he leads Boeing through this consequential period in its long history.”
Earlier this year, Calhoun said he would step down from the company, having served as president and CEO since January 2020, and as a member of its Board of Directors since 2009.
This is a breaking story that will be updated.
