CHICAGO, June 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Scott Fancher,
senior vice president of program management, integration and
development programs, has announced his intention to retire in
September 2017, culminating a 40-year
Boeing (NYSE: BA) career that spans executive leadership roles
across the company's signature commercial, defense and space
programs.
"Few leaders have stepped into the crucible of leading edge
development programs in aerospace like Scott Fancher," said Dennis Muilenburg, Boeing chairman, president
and CEO. "His depth and breadth of leadership experience across the
entire company exemplifies the 'One Boeing' culture that
distinguishes us as a leader in aerospace, and his record of
achievement in program management stacks up with anyone in our
industry. We thank him for his 40 years of service and
leadership."
In his current role, Fancher led the company-wide deployment of
Boeing's development program management system, and he structured
and launched the company's first integrated corporate function for
identifying, developing and deploying program management talent. He
also propelled initiatives sponsored by Muilenburg to accelerate
the pace of Boeing's vertical product development, technology
development, and enterprise quality and productivity
initiatives.
Fancher, who joined the company as an intern in 1977, has held
executive leadership roles on a wide range of breakthrough
development programs across nearly every product line, technology
domain and customer segment. Prior to his Executive Council role,
Scott spent nearly eight years in Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA)
where he led the teams that completed the development and entry
into service of the 787, and launched the 777X. He also established
the Airplane Development organization, which restored stability and
credibility to the development of new commercial airplanes with the
on-track execution of the 787-9/-10, 737 MAX and 777X.
Prior to joining BCA, Scott spent over 30 years in Boeing
Defense, Space & Security (BDS). During this time he held
various leadership positions including as head of the Missile
Defense business and leading a series of challenging development
programs including Ground-based Midcourse Defense System (GMD) and
Airborne Laser (ABL) as well as airborne reconnaissance and
advanced electro-optics programs. Scott also served a Congressional
Fellowship with Sen. John Glenn.
"Scott brought a laser focus to maturing, integrating and
expanding our drive toward enterprisewide excellence in managing
development programs, selecting and growing program management
talent, and advancing our strategic approach to innovation
acceleration," Muilenburg said. "With these foundations in place
and part of our daily operating rhythm and processes, Scott will be
able to smoothly transition their oversight to other members of our
senior executive team."
