Parker was previously BDS’s chief operating officer, overseeing business operations that include quality, manufacturing and safety, supply chain and program management.
Before becoming the COO, he led BDS’s bombers and fighters, and vertical lift divisions and oversaw teams that developed many of the most innovative products and solutions across Boeing’s defense portfolio. He also managed Boeing Defence Australia, the company’s largest subsidiary outside the United States. Parker joined Boeing in 1988.
In his new role, he will oversee all aspects of the company’s business unit that provides technology, products and solutions for defense, government, space and intelligence customers worldwide. Parker will report to Boeing President and CEO Kelly Ortberg and serve on the company’s executive council.
“Under Steve’s leadership, our defense business has stabilized its operations, improved program execution and strengthened relationships with our customers,” said Ortberg. “With proven experience in manufacturing and program management, combined with his focus on developing people and building a strong culture, Steve is a leader who exemplifies the best of Boeing.”
