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.
