Boeing [NYSE: BA] has appointed Uma Amuluru as the Chief Human Resources Officer and executive vice president of Human Resources, effective April 1. Amuluru succeeds Michael D’Ambrose, who is set to retire in July.
In her new role, Amuluru will oversee talent planning, global talent acquisition, learning and development, compensation and benefits, employee and labor relations, and diversity and inclusion initiatives. She will report to Boeing President and CEO David Calhoun and serve on the company’s Executive Council.
Calhoun stated, “Uma is a superb leader with a strong track record of building terrific teams and strengthening complex organizations. Continuing to invest in our 170,000 employees around the world will be a priority as their actions, voices and ideas make it possible for us to bolster our quality and earn confidence with key stakeholders.”
Amuluru has been serving as vice president and general counsel to Boeing Defense, Space & Security since early 2023. Prior to that, she was Boeing’s first chief compliance officer and served on Boeing’s Executive Council. Before joining Boeing in 2017, Amuluru, who is a former federal prosecutor, held senior positions in the U.S. government, including serving as counselor to the U.S. Attorney General and Associate White House Counsel to President Barack Obama.
“I want to thank Mike for his relentless and passionate advocacy for the people of Boeing, and for his leadership and dedicated service during an important and challenging period in our company’s history,” said Calhoun. “Over the past four years, he has fostered a culture of care for our associates while steadfastly focusing on talent development programs, recruiting the best candidates and modernizing our human resources organization to further strengthen Boeing around the world.”
D’Ambrose will work to support this leadership transition and retire in July. He joined Boeing in July 2020 with more than four decades of business experience, including leading global human resources teams at ADM, Citigroup, First Data, and Toys ‘R’ Us.
