Boeing Establishes Data Analytics Group

Boeing's defense group said this week it has created a new data analytics organization, and Dewey Houck has been named the first chief data analytics officer for the defense business.

Houck previously was vice president and general manager of electronic and information solutions within Boeing's network and space systems business.

As part of the changes, Chris Raymond, vice president of business development and strategy for Boeing's defense business, will take on dual leadership roles within the defense business' network and space systems unit. He will succeed Houck and be the deputy to Craig Cooning, president of the network and space systems business.

Tom Bell will take over for Raymond as vice president of sales and marketing. He spent 20 years at Boeing but left in 2012 for Rolls-Royce and most recently served as president of Rolls-Royce Defense.

Also, Steve Nordlund has been named vice president of strategy for Boeing's defense business. He previously led the unmanned systems organization within Boeing Military Aircraft and Phantom Works.
