leadership of the team that sold thousands of airplanes to
customers worldwide.
"John's retirement caps an outstanding 36-year Boeing career
that has included assignments in engineering and all facets of
commercial airplanes sales and marketing," Conner said. "As the
leader of our Sales team since 2012, he has consistently
demonstrated the integrity, tenacity, courage and commitment it
takes to compete aggressively and win in the marketplace. Under his
