Electra.aero is defining the next level of connectivity. Our Ultra Short aircraft – built for an electric future – are revolutionizing air travel by bringing it closer to where we live, work and play. I am thrilled to bring my global aerospace leadership experiences to Electra, spearheading the industry’s next generation of product development. By leveraging distributed-electric propulsion, patented aerodynamic design breakthroughs, and precision flight control systems, we’re building fixed-wing aircraft that quietly land in places that, until now, were only accessible by helicopters and eVTOLs.

I joined Electra after serving for nearly a decade on The Boeing Company’s Executive Council, including as President of Boeing International and Chief Strategy Officer for the Company. Over my 17-year Boeing tenure across many different roles, I quarterbacked the company’s globalization strategy and execution, led transformative M&A and joint venture investments in cutting-edge technologies, and shaped the future of autonomous flight. My roles also included managing our customer finance P&L, our China business, and our global law team.

I’m excited to join Electra and work alongside another first-rate team. My passion has always been about building, coaching, and inspiring high-performing teams to achieve excellence together in empowered and agile environments. I also love to fly!

In addition to leading technological disruption in transportation, I also serve on Proctor & Gamble’s board, chair the board for International Justice Mission -- the world’s largest anti-slavery NGO, and sit on the boards of the JFK Library Foundation and the Virginia Museum of History and Culture.
