""What I've seen is a really engaged workforce, a very strong management team-one that has a can-do attitude," Malave said. Management is focused on improvement and making Boeing better every day, he said. "To me, that is incredibly important, because that's a sign of a performance culture, and that's one of the things you look for when you join a company," Malave said. "You can never really tell from the outside looking in what it's actually like working in the company.""
"He described "active management" as a leadership team that is "willing to roll up its sleeves, get its hands dirty, help solve problems, and be part of the solutions-and that's exactly what I see here at Boeing," he said. "I'm that type of person who likes to get into the details, to focus on how we solve a problem rather than just observing it. From my perspective, I've been able to transition pretty easily into an environment like that.""
Boeing faced aircraft malfunctions, management challenges, and a machinists strike involving more than 33,000 workers in 2024, prompting executive leadership changes. Jay Malave joined as EVP and CFO on Aug. 15, succeeding Brian West, while Kelly Ortberg became president and CEO in August 2024. Cultural changes initiated under Ortberg produced an engaged workforce and a management team with a can-do attitude focused on continuous improvement. Leadership emphasizes active management that rolls up sleeves to solve problems and contribute to solutions. Malave leads finance, strategy, business planning, global real estate, and serves on the company's executive council.
