About Stanley A. Deal
Stan Deal serves as both a Boeing HorizonX Ventures partner and Executive Vice President of The Boeing Company plus President & CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, creating an unusually direct connection between startup investments and one of the world's largest commercial aircraft operations. As a decades-long Boeing operator who progressed through engineering, program management, and services before becoming an investor, he brings a commercial mindset focused on supply-chain execution, manufacturability, and long-term fleet evolution rather than traditional financial venture capital perspectives.
