Boeing names new manager to S.C. operations

The Boeing Co. has named Jack Jones as general manager of its South Carolina site.

Jones most recently served as vice president of the Everett Delivery Center. In 2008, he took year-long assignment as vice president of final assembly and change Incorporation for the 787, leading the team responsible for assembling the Dreamliner at the Everett factory. He returned to the delivery center at the end of that assignment.

“Jack has extensive experience in running every aspect of production and delivery for our widebody airplanes. I’m extremely confident he will add tremendous value to our team in South Carolina, further strengthening our commitment to the success of the site, the team and the state,” said Ray Conner, vice president of supply chain management for Boeing.

Jones replaces Tim Coyle, who will come to Everett to lead a new team will be responsible for modifications and completion of early-production 787 airplanes for Boeing.

“Tim has done an incredible job leading the acquisition, integration and operations of Boeing South Carolina. Over the last few years, he’s brought our South Carolina team to an important juncture on the 787 program,” Conner said.
