New York CNN —Boeing removed executive Ed Clark, the head of its 737 Max passenger jet program, after a dramatic – and terrifying – midair blowout in January underscored ongoing problems with the jet.
But he had previously held roles related to the 737 Max, including as chief engineer and chief 737 mechanic.
It created a new executive position, Senior Vice President for BCA Quality, and named Elizabeth Lund to that position.
Mike Fleming, who had previously been senior vice president of development and customer service, will assume the role Lund previously held.
And Katie Ringgold, who had been vice president of 737 Max deliveries, will assume Clark’s former position overseeing the Max.
