GE’s McAllister Replaces Conner as Boeing Commercial CEO
Shakeup comes amid establishment of third company division led by Stan Deal

Boeing has recruited GE Aviation Services chief executive Kevin McAllister to replace Ray Conner as CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. Conner, 61, has agreed to continue to serve as Boeing vice chairman until his retirement at the end of 2017 and work closely with McAllister in the months ahead “on a purposeful handoff.” Conner will also provide “strategic oversight and guidance” for what the company calls its transition to a single integrated services business and remain involved in product development strategy at BCA.
