Gitlin, 53, currently serves as chairman and chief executive
officer of Carrier and brings to the Board more than 20 years of aerospace
industry experience. He previously served in several executive leadership
roles, including as president and chief operating officer of Collins Aerospace
Systems, and as president of UTC Aerospace Systems.
“Dave is a proven leader with deep aerospace, manufacturing
and supply chain expertise,” said Boeing Chairman Larry Kellner. “With his
consistent focus on safety and track record of operational expertise, Dave will
add critical experience and perspective to our Board.”
Boeing President and CEO Dave Calhoun said, “Dave is an
excellent addition to our Board as we continue to rebuild trust, strengthen
safety and quality and drive stability throughout our operations. We will
benefit greatly from Dave’s significant experience leading complex enterprises
focused on engineering, manufacturing, safety and quality.”
Since April 2019, seven independent directors have joined
the Board. These directors collectively bring significant experience in
aerospace, safety, engineering, manufacturing, cyber, software, risk oversight,
audit, supply chain management and finance.
Gitlin’s election to the Board fulfills the Company’s
commitment, as part of the settlement of certain shareholder derivative claims
in March 2022, to add another director with aerospace, engineering or safety
systems background to the Board.
