Summary · why it matters

GE Aerospace named former Northrop Grumman Chairman and CEO Wes Bush as independent lead director of its board, succeeding Tom Horton in the role. The appointment took effect Sept. 21, the company announced Tuesday, and Horton, who had served as independent lead director since 2018, will remain on GE Aerospace's board. Bush joined the GE Aerospace board as an independent director in 2025, bringing extensive aerospace and defense experience from his former leadership of Northrop Grumman; he also serves on the boards of Dow and General Motors. Horton became GE's independent lead director in 2018, a period that encompassed the restructuring and eventual breakup of the former conglomerate, and he previously served as chairman and CEO of American Airlines and currently is a senior adviser at Global Infrastructure Partners, while also serving on the boards of Chevron and Walmart. The change in lead director does not affect H. Lawrence Culp Jr.'s position as chairman and CEO of GE Aerospace, which became a standalone company in 2024 after GE completed the separation of its energy businesses into GE Vernova.
