Hayes became CEO of RTX - formerly Raytheon (NYSE:RTN) - in 2020 after its merger with United Technologies (NYSE:RTX), where he also held the role of chief executive. He was executive chairman of the board since May.

Calio, who succeeded Hayes as CEO last year, was previously president and chief operating officer at RTX, before which he held leadership positions at engine maker Pratt & Whitney.
