Good point but Mullenberg was only CEO from 2015 to 2020. The MAX first flew in 2016. Before that was James McNerney a literal Jack Welch-ian MBA who actually oversaw the development of the 737 MAX, the divestment of Spirit, and was Boeing’s first CEO without aerospace experience. Just skimming the wikis for Boeing, the 737 MAX, and the A320neo it looks like Boeing’s downfall should largely be attributed to McNerney. Mullenberg is guilty of shipping a doomed product and botching the response to the subsequent crashes.
