ARLINGTON, Va., March 1,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] announced
today that Greg Hyslop, the
company's chief engineer and executive vice president of
Engineering, Test & Technology, will retire this June after a
41-year career that spanned Boeing's aerospace and defense
portfolio.
Hyslop, who has been on Boeing's Executive Council since 2016
and assumed the top engineering position in 2019, has worked to
strengthen Boeing's engineering function. He led the realignment of
the company's engineers under one organization, championed changes
to empower engineers and instituted next-generation design
practices.
"Greg has modeled Boeing's commitment to engineering excellence
throughout his four decades here," said Dave Calhoun, Boeing president and CEO. "As we
reshaped our company, Greg played an instrumental role in
strengthening our engineering organization, positioning our
engineers to innovate a future that is more digital, autonomous and
sustainable, and always with a focus on safety, quality and
integrity."
Howard McKenzie, the top engineer
at Boeing's commercial airplanes unit, succeeds Hyslop as chief
engineer and executive vice president, Engineering, Test &
Technology. Effective today, McKenzie takes over leadership of the
company's 57,000 engineers worldwide, overseeing all aspects of
safety and technical integrity of Boeing products and services.
McKenzie also assumes oversight of Boeing's technology vision,
strategy and investment, while reporting to Calhoun and joining the
company's executive council.
Prior to his recent role at Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA),
McKenzie was vice president and chief engineer of Boeing Global
Services, the company's services and support business. A 35-year
veteran of the company, McKenzie has also served as vice president
of Boeing Test & Evaluation, the group responsible for testing,
evaluating and certifying new products.
David Loffing, chief program
engineer of Boeing's new 777X airplane, takes over as vice
president and chief engineer of BCA. Loffing has held roles of
increasing responsibility since joining Boeing nearly 20 years ago,
with engineering leadership positions across the company's single-
and twin-aisle jet families and future airplane concepts.
"Howard and David are brilliant engineering minds who bring
strong technical expertise and deep program experience to their new
roles. They will join together with Chief Technology Officer
Todd Citron and Chief Aerospace
Safety Officer Michael Delaney to
lead our function into the future and help us tackle the
engineering challenges of today and tomorrow," said Calhoun.
Greg Hyslop will support the
leadership transition through June as he assumes the role of chief
engineer emeritus, reporting to Calhoun. He will assist with
program management, leadership development and university relations
efforts.
"When I think about the impact Boeing has on the world, I feel
incredibly lucky to have worked with the talented people who take
on the aerospace industry's most difficult problems," said Hyslop.
"That's what engineers do. We solve problems. We happily accept
challenges and find solutions that change the world. I will
always be proud to call myself a Boeing Engineer."
