Now based in Bengaluru, Sire has taken over strategy and operations for BIETC. She will be responsible for advancing BIETC’s goals and priorities in India and enhancing team capabilities to continue to support business growth. Additionally, she serves as chief engineer for Boeing India.
“Sire’s expertise in leading teams and driving innovation for complex engineering programmes, combined with her deep technical knowledge and collaborative mindset, will be key as we work towards building a fully integrated global engineering organization for The Boeing Company,” said Elsherbini.
Boeing is focused on delivering value to Indian customers with advanced technologies and is committed to creating sustainable value in the Indian aerospace sector – developing local suppliers and shaping academic and research collaborations with Indian institutions.
