From its humble beginnings as a small airplane manufacturer to its position as the world's leading aerospace company, Boeing's story is one of vision, innovation, and resilience.
William Boeing, the Visionary Founder
William Boeing, a young timber businessman from Seattle, had a vision of a world connected by air travel. In 1916, he founded the Boeing Airplane Company, which quickly became a leader in the aviation industry. Boeing's early planes were designed for military use, but the company soon expanded into commercial aviation.
Dave Calhoun, the Crisis Leader
Dave Calhoun took over as Boeing's CEO in January 2020, at a time when the company was facing multiple crises. The 737 Max airliner had been grounded after two fatal crashes, and the company was facing a global pandemic. Calhoun's leadership has been instrumental in guiding Boeing through these challenges, and he has overseen the return of the 737 Max to service.
