Ortberg New Rockwell Collins CEO

By the end of June, Kelly Ortberg, currently president of Rockwell Collins, will transition into the CEO seat following the retirement of chairman and CEO Clay Jones. Ortberg, 52, has worked for Rockwell Collins (Chalet B19, Hall2b,Stand D108) for the past 26 years, including running both the commercial aviation and government businesses as COO.

“In a macro sense, this is a full-steam-ahead transition, not a course-changing transition,” Ortberg told AIN. “I’ve been part and parcel to most of the key business strategies that have been put in place, and you’re not going to see a major shift in direction from me because I fundamentally believe in the direction we’re headed.”
