Biography | Kelly Ortberg — The Chair He Took on Collins Road
kevin
People treat his Boeing appointment as a first command.
He had already run a listed aerospace company from this campus.
On 1 August 2013 Rockwell Collins announced that its board had elected President Kelly Ortberg as chief executive officer, effective that day, and seated him on the board.
The announcement came from world headquarters at 400 Collins Road NE in Cedar Rapids.
He had joined the same company in 1987 as a program manager. He became president in September 2012 after running commercial and government systems, including work on avionics for the Boeing 787, the Airbus A350, and the Pro Line Fusion integrated cockpit.
Clay Jones retired as CEO after nearly 34 years. The succession is in the company's 1 August 2013 Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Ortberg later chaired the board as well, from November 2015, and stayed through United Technologies' 2018 purchase of Rockwell Collins. He then ran the combined Collins Aerospace unit until February 2020.
The campus is now branded Collins Aerospace. The address on Collins Road is the same plant that made him a chief executive before Boeing ever called.
