Boeing may turn to outsider CEO to tackle spiraling crisis
Boeing’s board is searching for a new CEO to replace Dave Calhoun, who is stepping down by year-end. Potential candidates include GE CEO Larry Culp, Spirit Aerosystems CEO Pat Shanahan, former Boeing CFO Greg Smith, and Boeing board member David Gitlin. Analysts suggest Boeing may prefer an outsider to bring a fresh perspective and address safety concerns. Unions at Boeing are advocating for the next CEO to be an engineer.
