In a letter to employees on Thursday, Boeing CEO David Calhoun said the U.S. planemaker will not fill the chief strategy officer role going forward. Boeing will shrink its strategy and corporate development organization and instead have "strategy teams directly joining the business units they support," Calhoun said. Chief Financial Officer Brian West and Mike D’Ambrose, the company's top human resources official, will create a realignment plan for the strategy unit over the next month, Calhoun said.
