Boeing Co. (BA) has separated the roles of chairman and chief executive, and said Dennis A. Muilenburg will continue as CEO.

David L. Calhoun, current independent lead director, will be non-executive chairman.

Boeing said, "Splitting the chairman and CEO roles will enable Muilenburg to focus full time on running the company as it works to return the 737 MAX safely to service, ensure full support to Boeing's customers around the world, and implement changes to sharpen Boeing's focus on product and services safety."
