Heidi Grant is joining Boeing on Nov. 8 to lead its defense, space and government services sales teams as vice president of business development.
Grant currently serves as director of the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency. In her new role at Boeing, she’ll be responsible for administering and executing Defense Department security cooperation programs and activities involving defense articles, military training and other defense-related services.
“Heidi brings extensive experience in global strategy and competitive positioning across the life cycle,” said Leanne Caret, president and CEO of Boeing Defense, Space & Security. “We look forward to working closely with her as we compete, win and grow our business around the world.”
Since beginning her DOD career in 1989, Grant has held key roles with the departments of the Navy and Air Force, Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff and two combatant commands. At Boeing, she’ll report to Caret and Boeing Global Services President and CEO Ted Colbert, and she’ll serve on both leadership teams.
Grant will be succeeding Jeff Shockey, who left Boeing in July.
