Boeing Co. ousted the head of its 737 Max program, shaking up management less than two months after the midair blowout that’s led to withering scrutiny of manufacturing quality at the US planemaker.
Ed Clark, who helped ramp up 737 production in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, is stepping down immediately after nearly 18 years at Boeing, the company said Wednesday. Katie Ringgold succeeds him as vice president and general manager of the 737 program and Boeing’s factory in Renton, Washington.
