Boeing has appointed Shashank Jha as Chief Information Officer (CIO) and Head of Digital Technology for its India operations. Jha will also serve as the India site leader for Information Digital Technology & Security (IDT&S), spearheading strategy, operations and innovation from Boeing’s Bengaluru base.

Jha takes charge of Boeing India’s IDT&S team comprising nearly 1,500 professionals, tasked with driving digital transformation, product lifecycle management (PLM), and engineering support. He is also set to oversee commercial PLM products globally, a critical area for Boeing’s engineering backbone.

With over 20 years of experience across global conglomerates like GE, Bosch, Honeywell, and Dover, Jha brings deep expertise in engineering systems, enterprise IT, and digital ecosystems. His track record spans enterprise platforms, cybersecurity, and engineering tools—skills that align with Boeing’s need to scale high-performance digital capabilities across its operations.

Lucia Chung, Vice President of IDT&S and CIO for Engineering & Product Support, welcomed the appointment: “Shashank’s vast experience in digital transformation and mobility will be instrumental in advancing our digital strategies in India and beyond.”

Prior to Boeing, Jha was heading Dover India’s Global Capability Center, managing IT functions for India and China. His leadership at Boeing is expected to reinforce the aerospace giant’s growing engineering and digital footprint in India—a market that has become increasingly vital to its global operations.

Commenting on his new role, Jha said: “India is integral to Boeing’s global digital and engineering strategy. I’m excited to collaborate with the dynamic teams here to build scalable, future-ready platforms and help accelerate Boeing’s innovation roadmap.”
