Boeing has appointed Stephanie Pope as its new Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, a newly created position, with effect from 1 January 2024.
Pope will oversee the performance of the company’s three business units responsible for driving supply chain, quality, manufacturing and engineering excellence. Boeing’s Chief Executive Officers, its Chief Engineer and the President of Boeing Global will all report directly to Pope, whilst Senior corporate functional leaders will continue reporting to Dave Calhoun, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boeing.
“Stephanie brings tremendous operational, financial and customer experience to this role, as well as a proven record of performance across our commercial, defence and services business units,” said Calhoun. “Next year will be a significant transitional year in our performance as we continue to restore our operational and financial strength; and Stephanie will help drive the stability and predictability necessary to ensure we deliver on our customer, employee, regulatory, investor and other stakeholder commitments.”
Prior to her new role, Pope held the position of President and Chief Executive Officer of Boeing Global Services since April 2022. Pope’s successor to lead Boeing Global Services will be named at a later date.
“I am honoured to step into this new role and look forward to working closely with Dave, our Executive Council and all of our Boeing teammates,” said Pope. “Together, we will continue to improve operating performance and remain committed to delivering for our customers while ensuring the highest levels of safety, quality and transparency in all that we do.”
