CHICAGO, Nov. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] today named Donna Hrinak to the newly-created position of president of Boeing Canada. Hrinak will coordinate all company business activities in Canada, continuing a legacy of Boeing presence and engagement in the country that began 100 years ago.
