Boeing's Pope Makes Mark at Aviation Show as CEO Search Heats Up.

Stephanie Pope, the head of Boeing's commercial airplane unit, has been making a strong impression at the Farnborough International Airshow, positioning herself as a potential candidate for the CEO position. As the current CEO, Dave Calhoun, plans to step down by the end of the year, Pope has been meeting with customers and working to stabilize Boeing's factory operations. However, there are concerns about her lack of manufacturing experience. Despite these challenges, Pope has been actively involved in the factory turnaround and has received positive feedback from customers. The search for Boeing's next CEO is nearing its conclusion, with other external candidates being considered alongside Pope. [Extracted from the article]
