The vice president

leading Boeing's Starliner spacecraft unit, Mark Nappi,

has left the troubled program and was replaced by the company's

International Space Station program manager, John Mulholland, a

Boeing spokesperson told Reuters on Thursday.



Nappi, who led Boeing's Starliner program through major

engineering issues since 2022, is in a new role "focused on

identifying opportunities for streamlining improvement across

the division’s space programs until he retires next month,"

Boeing said.



Mulholland previously led Boeing's Starliner program before

switching in 2020 to the company's International Space Station

program, which works closely with NASA under a

multi-billion-dollar station operations contract.
