Boeing Board Leadership Valuable as Third Quarter Earnings Announced
Despite news that Boeing has once again delayed the delivery of its highly anticipated 787, the company’s outlook appears positive as it announced its better than expected third quarter earnings (see article from SEC Investor). In light of these encouraging results, we created an IntellectSpace Knowledge Map of Boeing’s current Board connections (Note: the information contained and presented in Knowledge Maps is public information from the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States of America).
As illustrated in this Knowledge Map, all of the Directors at Boeing hold concurrent Board Memberships at other corporate entities. The connections are shown to be especially diverse, with ties to Edison International and the Walt Disney Company through John E Bryson as well as links through Rozanne L Ridgeway to Sara Lee, Manpower, 3M Company, and Emerson Electric. Other notable entities connected to Boeing through its board are JP Morgan Chase through John H Biggs, Nortel Networks through Mike S Zafirovski, and Allstate through Edward M Liddy.
These numerous current board affiliations suggests a strong degree of leadership experience by the Boeing Board of Directors. Such a network that is both strong and diverse will likely prove valuable to the company as it continues into the next year.
