Sheppard was promoted to his role in January 2023. He has more than ten years of experience in the commercial aircraft engine market.

He supported four of the last five Space Shuttle missions.

GE Aerospace last month expanded its commitment to greener technology when it agreed to collaborate with Beta Technologies to develop a hybrid propulsion system.

Also in September, GE Aerospace extended its service agreement with Silk Way West Airlines.
