CHICAGO, June 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing [NYSE: BA]
today named Michael D'Ambrose as executive vice president of Human
Resources, effective July 6. He will
succeed Wendy Livingston, who has
served in an interim capacity since April.
In this role, D'Ambrose will be responsible for the company's
leadership and learning, talent planning, employee and labor
relations, total rewards, and diversity and inclusion initiatives.
He will report to Boeing President and CEO David Calhoun, serve on the company's Executive
Council and be based in Chicago.
"Michael is joining Boeing at a
critical time as we align our workforce with what will be a smaller
and more competitive aerospace industry in the coming years," said
Calhoun. "He brings to this effort and our other business
priorities extensive experience leading through organizational
change, passionate advocacy for diversity and inclusion, and
commitment to identifying, developing and retaining the industry's
top talent.
"I'd also like to thank Wendy for her tremendous leadership in
recent months, particularly as we navigated the pandemic's initial
impact on our business and people," Calhoun added. "I look forward
to her continued support and success as we further strengthen our
world-class Human Resources team and position Boeing as a global
employer of choice."
D'Ambrose joins Boeing from ADM, one of the world's largest
agribusinesses and a global leader in human and animal nutrition,
with more than $60 billion in annual
revenue. He has served as senior vice president and chief human
resources officer at ADM since 2006. In that role, he led the
continued modernization of all global human resources activities,
as well as the enterprise transformation of ADM through significant
organic growth and M&A activity over the past decade.
While at ADM, D'Ambrose founded and led Together We Grow,
a group of industrial, educational, non-government organization and
legislative partners focused on driving diversity and inclusion –
and building a strong talent pipeline – throughout the U.S. food
and agriculture sectors.
D'Ambrose has more than four decades of business experience
across multiple industries, spending the past 14 years at ADM.
Prior to that, he led global human resources teams at companies
such as Citigroup, First Data and Toys 'R' Us.
D'Ambrose holds a bachelor's degree in industrial and labor
relations from Cornell University,
where he chairs the advisory board at the Center for Advanced Human
Resource Studies. In 2016, he was inducted as a fellow of the
National Academy of Human Resources. He also is a certified
recreational pilot.

responsibilities before resuming her previous role as vice
president, Corporate Human Resources.
