Boeing management named Stan Deal to succeed Kevin McAllister as president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes and Ted Colbert to succeed Deal as president and CEO of Boeing Global Services. Vishwa Uddanwadiker will serve in Colbert’s former role as interim chief information officer (CIO) and senior vice president of Information Technology & Data Analytics.

“We’re committed to delivering on our commitments and regaining trust with our regulators, customers, and other stakeholders,” Boeing President and CEO Dennis Muilenburg says.

Deal joined Boeing in 1986 and led Boeing Global Services from its establishment in November 2016 as a third business unit of the company. Previously, he led Commercial Airplanes’ supply chain and was sales leader for the Asia-Pacific region.

Colbert joined Boeing in 2009 and served as CIO and senior vice president of Information Technology & Data Analytics.
