Boeing Co. named Ted Colbert as president and chief executive officer of its $26 billion defense, space and security division as part of a broader leadership shuffle at two of the company’s main businesses.
Colbert, 49, takes over at Boeing’s second-largest division from Leanne Caret, 55, who had been the company’s senior-most woman executive since 2016 and is retiring after almost 35 years. Colbert has been running the planemaker’s global services business.
