Harry C.
Stonecipher (born May 16, 1936) is a former president and chief executive officer of American aerospace companies McDonnell Douglas and, later, The Boeing Company.
Stonecipher orchestrated the merger between McDonnell Douglas and Boeing, and was widely credited with the seeming resurgence of Boeing after government procurement scandals.
However, his tenure also included major decisions to change Boeing's design and sourcing process for the new 787 airliner.
These decisions later proved to be organizationally and financially disastrous for the company.
After a long and distinguished career, Stonecipher was forced to resign at Boeing following the disclosure of his longtime consensual affair with a fellow Boeing employee whom he later married.
