Boeing's board of directors has elected Kelly Ortberg as the company's new president and CEO.

Ortberg succeeds Dave Calhoun, who earlier this year announced his intention to retire from the company, having served as president and CEO since January 2020 and as a member of Boeing's board of directors since 2009.

Ortberg began his career in 1983 as an engineer at Texas Instruments, then joined Rockwell Collins in 1987 as a program manager and rose through the ranks to become its president and CEO in 2013. He then steered that company's integration with United Technologies and RTX until his retirement from RTX in 2021.

In addition to serving on RTX's board of directors, Ortberg serves on vehicle systems company Aptiv PLC's board and is the former chair of the Aerospace Industries Association board of governors.
