David L. Calhoun, the CEO of Boeing, has been in the news due to a series of safety incidents involving Boeing 737 Max 9 planes. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ordered the grounding of 171 Boeing planes after a door plug blew out mid-flight on an Alaska Airlines flight, prompting concerns about Boeing's manufacturing standards and oversight. This incident led to a formal investigation into Boeing's quality control, causing delays in issuing annual financial and delivery forecasts and legal action from shareholders.
David L. Calhoun, born on April 18, 1957, is an American businessman who became the CEO of The Boeing Company in January 2020. Prior to this role, he served as Boeing's chairman. Calhoun took over as CEO after the previous CEO, Dennis Muilenburg, was fired amidst safety issues related to the Boeing 737 Max aircraft. Calhoun's leadership has been marked by challenges in restoring Boeing's reputation and addressing concerns about the company's safety practices.
