Boeing Forces Resignation of CEO
CHICAGO — Boeing Co. abruptly forced out its president and chief executive officer, Harry Stonecipher, for what the company said Monday was a violation of the company’s code of business conduct stemming from a relationship the married, 68-year-old Stonecipher had with a female Boeing executive.
The stunning ouster makes Stonecipher the second CEO to depart the Chicago-based airplane maker and defense contractor in disgrace in the past 15 months.
His predecessor, Phil Condit, resigned Dec. 1, 2003, as a result of the defense contracting scandals that ultimately sent two Boeing executives — ex-Air Force procurement official Darleen Druyun and chief financial officer Mike Sears — to jail.
Boeing declined to identify the executive or discuss specifics of Stonecipher’s actions, which it said were linked to a consensual relationship that began in January. Newly named interim president and CEO James A. Bell, 56, insisted on a conference call that the announcement “has and will have no impact on our outlook. … Boeing’s overall financial condition is very strong.”
“Boeing’s primary customers, the airlines and the Pentagon, are still going to keep on buying Boeing’s airliners and weapon systems based on performance and price, not on palace intrigues,” said Robert Friedman, senior aerospace defense analyst for Standard and Poor’s.
Regardless, the unexplained ouster is a jolt to a company that had been trying to put two years of scandal behind it.
