Boeing Co said Tuesday it had named a former US deputy secretary of state as a senior executive as the US planemaker faces challenges around the world including working to restart passenger airplane deliveries to Chinese carriers.
In an email to staff seen by Reuters, Boeing Chief Executive Dave Calhoun said the company had named Steve Biegun as senior vice president of global public policy to "deepen our efforts in developing and executing a strategic global public policy plan while helping us strengthen important relationships with key stakeholders in the US and around the world."
