## Resource

Steve Parker, the chief executive officer of Boeing Defense, Space & Security, joins Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss how the giant is working to answer the Trump administration’s demand for accelerated missile and weapons production; the company’s new approach to managing supply chains to improve performance; how the Pentagon is making it easier for contractors to move faster; how moving is moving faster on programs delivery; efforts to attract, retain and nurture a more experienced workforce to improve program execution as veteran workers retire or move to other companies; Boeing’s new culture of performance; Ukraine lessons shaping the company’s strategy, investment and products; thoughts on “right to repair” and capital allocation as lawmakers consider legislation; and whether the administration’s rhetoric that’s propelling allies to develop “sovereign” capabilities will negatively impact the company’s future prospects.
