Laurette T. Koellner is an American business executive, the former president of Boeing International.[5][6]

Early life and education

Koellner was raised in Brooklyn, and attended college at the University of Central Florida (UCF).[2] She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management from UCF in 1977, and an MBA from Stetson University in 1980.[7][8]

Career

McDonnell Douglas/Boeing

After earning her bachelor's degree in 1977, Koellner began work at McDonnell Douglas as a contract analyst.[9] She spent 19 years at McDonnell Douglas, with an end position of vice president of Internal Audit.[10] After the Boeing-McDonnell Douglas merger in 1997, she remained with Boeing, first as vice president and general auditor, before being named vice president and corporate controller in 1999.[11][12][13][14] In 2000, she was named the senior vice president of the Shared Services group.[15] From 2002-2004, she served as a member of the office of the chairman, as well as the company's chief administration and human resources officer (a position she held until 2004).[16][17][18] In 2004, Koellner was named the president of Connexion by Boeing, a position she held until 2006, when she was named the president of Boeing International.[19][20] She remained in this position until her retirement from Boeing in 2008.[21]

ILFC

In 2012, she was named executive chairman at the International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC), a subsidiary of AIG.[22] The newly created position made her the company's most senior executive, overseeing ILFC CEO Henri Courpron, following revelations that Courpron had been involved in a personal relationship with an employee.[4] As head of ILFC reporting to AIG CEO Robert Benmosche, she stepped down from AIG’s board of directors.[23] In 2012, she announced that she would step down once AIG’s planned sale of the unit was approved.[24] The sale to AerCap was completed in May 2014.[25]

Board positions

In 2003, she was elected to the board of directors of Sara Lee Corporation as the chairman of the audit committee.[26][27][28] When Sara Lee split into Hillshire Brands and Douwe Egberts, she maintained her board position until Hillshire merged with Tyson Foods.[29][30]

In 2009, she was elected the chairman of the audit committee on the board of directors at Celestica, Inc.[31][32] In 2009, she was also named an independent director of American International Group (AIG).[33][34] She remained in this position through AIG's repayment of its $182.5 billion in government loans.[35] In 2014 she was elected member of the Board of Directors for Papa Johns pizza, and in 2015 as a member of the Goodyear board.[36][37]

Advisory positions

Koellner serves on the Dean's Advisory Board of the UCF College of Business Administration, and has also served on the Board of Regents for the University of Portland.[38][39] She is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.[40]

Recognition

Koellner was inducted into the UCF College of Business Administration Hall of Fame in 2003.[41] In 2005, she received a Distinguished Alumnus Award from UCF.[7] In 2011, she received a Distinguished Alumni Award from Stetson University.[8] She has also been designated a "audit committee financial expert" by the New York Stock Exchange.[42] In 2014, she was featured in the book Trailblazers: The Women of The Boeing Company as the highest ranking female in the history of the company.[43]
