Management
In November 2016, Boeing announced that Ray Conner would step down immediately as BCA's president and CEO.[11] He was succeeded by Kevin G. McAllister,[12] who was the first outside recruitment in BCA history. McAllister was instructed by Dennis Muilenburg to triple revenue from aftermarket services from $15 billion to a target of $50 billion over 10 years, with a new purpose-built unit headed by Stan Deal.[11] Keith Leverkuhn was the vice president and general manager of the 737 MAX program in March 2017 when it received certification.[13]
