WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Marc Allen will step down as Boeing’s chief strategy officer next year, a company spokesperson confirmed to Reuters on Thursday.
The U.S. planemaker will not fill the chief strategy officer role going forward, but will delegate strategy to individual business units, the spokesperson said.
Allen, who became Boeing’s top strategy official in 2020, spearheaded efforts to acquire the plane making arm of Brazil’s Embraer, which were called off in the market turmoil following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and helped oversee a marathon trade spat with Airbus over subsidies.
Previous roles also included running Boeing’s China unit.
