The same day, Boeing announced the appointment of Alexander Feldman as the new president of the company’s Southeast Asia business.

 

Feldman will be based in Singapore and oversee the company’s strategy and operations as Boeing expands its regional presence.

 

Previously, Feldman was president and CEO of the US-ASEAN Business Council (US-ABC) for more than 12 years and served as its chairman in 2020-2021 helping to steer the Council through the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

“I am proud to join Boeing, one of the world’s iconic brands, and a strong and growing partner to one of the fastest-growing and most consequential markets in the world: Southeast Asia,” said Feldman.

 

“With over 380 million people under the age of 35, Southeast Asia will bolster Boeing’s growth for decades to come and support hundreds of thousands of American jobs as well as countless others across the region.”

 

The opening of the Hanoi office neatly coincided with Vice President Harris’s official visit to Hanoi.

 

Boeing being one of the top US exporters, their presence in Vietnam, will only help relations between the two countries.
