Dennis Muilenburg is out as the CEO of Boeing.

Boeing said Monday Muilenburg has resigned after the board of directors decided a leadership change was "necessary to restore confidence in the company moving forward as it works to repair relationships with regulators, customers, and all other stakeholders," The New York Times reports. The company has been engulfed in crisis following two 737 Max crashes that killed more than 300 people and led to numerous investigations.
