Boeing has recently appointed a new CEO, Dave Calhoun, who is replacing the ousted Dennis Muilenburg. The company’s announcement came as a surprise to many, as Calhoun is seen as an outsider in the industry. This comes as Boeing is dealing with a number of challenges, among them the grounding of the 737 Max following two fatal crashes. Calhoun, who has run other major corporations such as Nielsen and Blackstone, has started his role from the factory floor, signaling a possible shift in the company’s leadership style. He will likely be tasked with restoring confidence both within Boeing and among its investors, customers, and the flying public.
