After earning her bachelor's degree in 1977, Koellner began work at McDonnell Douglas as a contract analyst.[7] She spent 19 years at McDonnell Douglas, with an end position of vice president of Internal Audit.[8] After the Boeing-McDonnell Douglas merger in 1997, she remained with Boeing, first as vice president and general auditor, before being named vice president and corporate controller in 1999.[9][10][11][12] In 2000, she was named the senior vice president of the Shared Services group.[13] From 2002-2004, she served as a member of the office of the chairman, as well as the company's chief administration and human resources officer (a position she held until 2004).[14][15][16] In 2004, Koellner was named the president of Connexion by Boeing, a position she held until 2006, when she was named the president of Boeing International.[17][18] She remained in this position until her retirement from Boeing in 2008.[19]
ILFC[]
In 2012, she was named executive chairman at the International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC), a subsidiary of AIG.[20] The newly created position made her the company's most senior executive, overseeing ILFC CEO Henri Courpron, following revelations that Courpron had been involved in a personal relationship with an employee.[21] As head of ILFC reporting to AIG CEO Robert Benmosche, she stepped down from AIG’s board of directors.[22] In 2012, she announced that she would step down once AIG’s planned sale of the unit was approved.[23] The sale to AerCap was completed in May 2014.[24]
