Boeing CEO · Person
Robert K. 'Kelly' Ortberg is president and CEO of Boeing, which supplies Israel with JDAM guidance kits, GBU-39 small diameter bombs and F-15 fighters. Boeing's proxy reports his total pay at $23.58M for 2025 and $18.39M for 2024. Sludge counts $26.7B in US arms sales to Israel approved since 7 October 2023 that benefit Boeing, whose bombs have been used in strikes on schools and tent camps in Gaza. In February 2025 Boeing was named lead contractor in a $6.75B sale of munitions, guidance kits and fuzes to Israel, including 13,000 KMU-556 JDAM kits, and in December 2025 the Pentagon awarded it up to $8.6B to build F-15IA jets for Israel. After the US–Israeli attack on Iran, Ortberg reported the good news to investors in April 2026: 'We're already seeing higher demand in our military business given the increased operational tempo', citing an agreement with the US military to triple production of PAC-3 missile seekers.
Calhoun was CEO from January 2020 until Kelly Ortberg took over on 8 August 2024.
