Frank Shrontz

Frank Anderson Shrontz (born December 14, 1931 in Boise, Idaho) is a former CEO and chairman of the Boeing Company.

The son of a sporting goods merchant, Shrontz graduated from Boise High School in 1949 and the University of Idaho in 1954 with a Bachelor of Laws degree, where he was a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. Following a commission and service in the U.S. Army from 1954-56, he attended the Harvard Business School where he received an MBA in 1958 and then joined Boeing.

Beginning in 1973, he served in the Nixon & Ford administrations at the Department of Defense, and returned to Boeing in January 1977 as a vice president. He served as CEO from 1986-96, and stepped down as chairman in 1997.

While serving on the board of directors for Chevron, a new double-hulled supertanker was named in his honor in November 1998.
