Dave Calhoun will leave his position as general manager of Boeing at the end of 2024. Calhoun arrived in January 2020 to restore confidence after the crashes of the 737 MAX 8s of Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines which left a total of 346 dead.
His predecessor, Dennis Muilenburg, was widely criticized for his management during this crisis. Stan Deal, director of the commercial aviation division, is replaced, effective immediately, by Stephanie Pope. Steve Mollenkopf, former boss of chip manufacturer Qualcomm, will be responsible for finding the future general director.
