Spirit AeroSystems top engineer to lead Wichita site after Boeing deal closes -letter
April 22 (Reuters) - Spirit AeroSystems' SPR.N chief engineer and technology officer, Sean Black, will lead the company's site in Wichita, Kansas, after planemaker Boeing BA.N completes its acquisition of Spirit this year, according to a letter to employees on Tuesday seen by Reuters.
Black will serve as general manager of Boeing Wichita, with additional responsibilities for a site in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and parts of plants in Prestwick, Scotland, and Belfast, Northern Ireland, according to the letter from Spirit Aero CEO Pat Shanahan.
Boeing last year said it had reached an agreement to acquire the aerostructures giant, which it had spun off in 2005, in a deal expected to close sometime this year.
Black will report to Stephanie Pope, executive vice president of Boeing and president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
“Sean’s experience, talents, and leadership skills will serve this site and the Wichita community well into the future,” Spirit Aero spokesperson Joe Buccino said in a statement.
