A Man on the Move

These are a few of the words that come to mind when thinking of Roger Krone. Since earning a bachelor’s in aerospace engi-neering from Tech in 1978, Krone has been rocketing up the ranks in the aerospace industry. He started as a junior aircraft designer toiling at a drawing board, and now he’s president of Network and Space Systems at Boeing, managing 16,000 em-ployees in 38 states and 11 countries. He's also a husband, father, licensed commercial pilot and a competitive runner.

When Krone isn’t jetting to the divisions he oversees or leading development of

next-generation spaceflight systems and satellites, he is a Six Sigma green belt, a cer-ti� ed public accountant, an associate fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, a fellow of the Royal Aero-nautical Society, a board member of the United Launch Alliance, a board member of the Greater Washington chapter of the Ur-ban League and a member of the Georgia Tech Advisory Board.

Here, we take a look at a week in the al-ways-moving life of Roger Krone. Fasten your seat belts.

Energetic.

Focused.

Intense.
