Boeing has announced that Dr. Brendan Nelson AO will assume the role of president of Boeing International (BI), where he will oversee the company’s corporate operations and international strategy. After five decades of service in the public and commercial sectors, including the last four years as CEO of Boeing International, the former Australian diplomat and cabinet minister will follow Sir Michael Arthur when he leaves Boeing in early 2023.
Nelson will report to Boeing President and CEO Dave Calhoun and serve on the executive council as the organization’s second non-American leader. Since February 2020, the Australian national has served as president of Boeing Australia, New Zealand, and South Pacific. On January 12, 2023, he will relocate to London to begin working in his new position.
