Read More » Boyce, who joined Boeing in 2008 after 31 years with the U.S. State Department, has retired.
Feldman’s responsibilities also span the roles of director and chairman of Boeing Singapore Pte. Ltd and president director of PT Boeing Indonesia.
Feldman’s CV most recently includes 12 years as president and CEO of the US-ASEAN Business Council (US-ABC), including the chairmanship in 2020-2021.
An International Relations graduate from the Ivy League’s University of Pennsylvania, Feldman has held senior roles at the U.S. State and Commerce Departments and a number of Asia-based businesses.
At the US-ABC, the Eisenhower Fellow and Council of Foreign Relations member has represented 170 businesses, including Boeing, the OEM said.
“We are really sorry to see Skip leave and thank him for having done such a tremendous job leading and growing the Boeing operation and presence across the region, which now includes newly opened offices in Jakarta and Hanoi,” Boeing International president, Sir Michael Arthur, said.
“We are excited to have Alex join Boeing. He brings to the team a strong combination of diplomatic and business skills garnered during his more than 30 years in the private and public sectors of the region.”
Feldman, who served in the administrations of U.S. presidents, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, said: “With more than 380 million people under the age of 35, Southeast Asia will bolster Boeing’s growth for decades to come and support hundreds of thousands of American jobs as well as countless others across the region.”
In the statement, which also highlighted the expansion of Boeing’s presence in Indonesia and Vietnam, the company said Feldman helped assemble a government and industry coalition that provided financial and medical support for Indonesia and the broader region, to contain the 2021 surge in COVID-19 cases.
His appointment takes effect on August 27.
