He succeeds Anthony Carbone, who will continue on the board and
serve as lead director, a position he previously held.
“This appointment reflects the confidence the Board of Directors
has in Kelly, and the respect he has earned through his leadership
as CEO and president of Rockwell Collins,” said Carbone.
Ortberg was appointed president of Rockwell Collins in September
2012 and was elected CEO in July 2013. Under his leadership, the
company successfully completed the acquisition of ARINC, won a
number of key commercial and government programs, effectively
managed through the challenges of sequestration, and ultimately,
returned to growth after several years of challenging market
dynamics.
Carbone was appointed non-executive chairman of the board in
August 2014 and has been a director of Rockwell Collins since June
2001.
“Tony has been a strong and effective chairman, and I look
forward to his continued leadership and guidance in his role as
lead director,” said Ortberg.
