including deep knowledge of the entire Boeing production system and great passion for our people, products, and customers,” Muilenburg said. “Jenette’s most recent work to transform our commercial airplanes fabrication operations will serve her well in this new assignment, which is critical to our long- term success and growth and productivity goals.” As leader of Fabrication at BCA since 2014, Ramos led a global operation of more than 17,000 employees that serves as the largest manufacturing partner to all commercial airplanes programs. In that role, she integrated businesses at 11 sites worldwide that design and manufacture composite, metal, electrical and interior aerospace parts, tools, and assemblies.
