Africa-Press<\/a> – Malawi<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Boeing Company [NYSE:BA] today announced the appointment of Kuljit Ghata-Aura as the new president of Boeing Middle East, Turkey and Africa (META), excluding the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, effective Sept. 30.<\/p>\n

Ghata-Aura, who is returning to the Middle East, Turkey and Africa region, will be based in Dubai. He will be responsible for leading all companywide activities and developing and implementing strategies for a region that is home to some of Boeing\u2019s largest commercial, defense and services customers.<\/p>\n

Ghata-Aura, who previously served as the regional counsel for Boeing India, Middle East, Turkey and Africa for almost six years, will oversee the company\u2019s new business and industrial partnership opportunities, safety and sustainability efforts, government affairs and corporate citizenship. He also will oversee Boeing\u2019s efforts to expand its presence and strengthen its relationships with customers and other stakeholders in the region. Ghata-Aura succeeds Bernie Dunn, who is leaving Boeing after more than nine years with the company in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt gives me great pleasure to announce the appointment of Kuljit Ghata-Aura as the new president of Boeing Middle East, Turkey and Africa. Kuljit brings a wealth of experience to the role from many of Boeing\u2019s most important markets and businesses, including the Middle East, Turkey and Africa region, where he has spent considerable time. I look forward to working with Kuljit to drive further growth in the region,\u201d said Sir Michael Arthur, president, Boeing International. \u201cWe thank Bernie for his great contribution to the growth of Boeing\u2019s presence in the META region over the last seven years and wish him well for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boeing\u2019s presence in the Middle East, Turkey and Africa goes back several decades. Boeing has offices in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Turkey, South Africa, Egypt, Kuwait and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The company also has several industrial and academic partnerships in the region. Today, the region is one of the world\u2019s fastest-growing commercial airplane markets, and its defense needs are rapidly expanding.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am delighted to return to the Middle East, Turkey and Africa region in this significant leadership role and rejoin my colleagues as we continue to focus on partnering with all stakeholders in one of the fastest-growing and important markets for the company in META. Boeing has a strong presence in the region and there continues to be unique opportunities. We are, and continue to be, committed to working closely with the civil aviation and defense authorities and our customers to help achieve the region\u2019s aerospace ambitions and objectives,\u201d said Ghata-Aura.<\/p>\n

Ghata-Aura joined Boeing in 2010 and has held several leadership roles for the company in Europe, Russia, Israel, India and the META region. In addition to being the regional counsel for Boeing India, Middle East, Turkey and Africa for almost six years, Ghata-Aura also held the role of director of market development for UAE from 2015-16. Prior to joining Boeing, Ghata-Aura was a partner at a large international firm practicing cross border mergers and acquisitions. He is a graduate of Oxford University.<\/p>\n

As a leading global aerospace company, Boeing develops, manufactures and services commercial airplanes, defense products and space systems for customers in more than 150 countries. As a top U.S. exporter, the company leverages the talents of a global supplier base to advance economic opportunity, sustainability and community impact. Boeing\u2019s diverse team is committed to innovating for the future and living the company\u2019s core values of safety, quality and integrity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
