Boeing Announces Transition Plan for Chief Financial Officer Role Amid Company Evolution
Boeing has announced a pivotal shift in its financial leadership. Effective August 15, Brian West will step down as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and take on a senior advisory role, assisting President and CEO Kelly Ortberg during this transition. The company has appointed Jesus 'Jay' Malave as the incoming CFO.
West has been instrumental at Boeing, serving as CFO for the last four years. During his tenure, he has successfully navigated numerous challenges, including the company's recovery post-pandemic and a capital raise that was historic for Boeing. 'I want to personally thank Brian for his outstanding work navigating our recovery and positioning the company for the future,' said Ortberg, reflecting on West's considerable contributions. His advisory position will see him continuing to support the financial team and ensuring a smooth transition as Malave steps into his new role.
Malave arrives at Boeing with a wealth of experience, previously serving as CFO at Lockheed Martin and holding other key financial positions at L3Harris Technologies and United Technologies Corporation. His extensive background in aerospace and manufacturing is expected to bring valuable insights as Boeing continues to shape its financial strategy. He will oversee crucial areas including financial reporting, long-range business planning, investor relations, treasury operations, and audit functions. As he begins to lead Boeing's financial strategies, Malave will report directly to Ortberg and participate as an active member of the company’s Executive Council.
In his new role, Malave expressed enthusiasm about contributing to Boeing's next chapter. 'Jay will become CFO at an important time in helping build Boeing's next chapter as we continue to make progress on our recovery and implement fundamental changes rooted in safety and quality,' stated Ortberg, highlighting the vital role financial leadership plays in the company's ongoing transformation.
Malave holds a bachelor's degree in mathematics from the University of Connecticut, a master's in accounting from the University of Hartford, and a Juris Doctor from the University of Connecticut School of Law. His strong educational background, coupled with decades of leadership experience, positions him well to lead Boeing through its financial strategic initiatives.
Boeing is a leading global aerospace company and one of the largest exporters in the United States, dedicated to developing and servicing commercial airplanes, defense products, and space systems for clients in over 150 countries. With a commitment to safety, quality, and integrity, Boeing strives to foster a culture that enhances innovation, economic opportunity, and positive community impact.
As Boeing continues to evolve, this leadership transition is not just about changes in individual roles but represents a strategic move towards ensuring long-term success in a highly competitive industry. Stakeholders and employees alike are looking forward to what this new era under Malave's financial leadership will entail, particularly as the company adapts its strategies to bolster its market position and operational efficiency.
