Boeing announced its board of directors has elected Bradley Tilden as its newest member.

Tilden, who will join the Aerospace Safety and Finance committees, previously served as chairman, president and CEO of Alaska Air Group, the parent company of Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines, as well as regional airline Horizon Air.

The 12th member of the Boeing board, Tilden will be the 10th new director added since 2019, as part of what the company calls the board's "refreshment efforts." 

"These directors collectively bring significant experience in aerospace, safety, engineering, manufacturing, cyber, artificial intelligence, software, risk oversight, audit, supply chain management, sustainability and finance, as well as the perspective of customers, suppliers and pilots," a Boeing statement reads.
