2026 Virginia Power 50 List: CHRISTOPHER T. CALIO
PRESIDENT, CEO AND CHAIRMAN, RTX, ARLINGTON COUNTY
Virginia Business //March 1, 2026//
Calio became president and CEO of Fortune Global 500 aerospace and defense contractor RTX in 2024. Previously known as Raytheon Technologies, the company moved its headquarters to Arlington in 2022. At RTX, Calio, who previously served as chief operating officer, leads 185,000 employees.
Calio also was president of RTX subsidiary Pratt & Whitney, which designs and manufactures aircraft engines. RTX reported $80.7 billion in revenue in fiscal 2024, up from $68.9 billion the previous year. The company continues to rake in big projects; its Raytheon subsidiary won a $5 billion Army contract in October 2025 to supply its Coyote missile system, and in November, a Raytheon joint venture won Israel’s $1.25 billion Iron Dome contract.
The company said in October 2025 that it expected $500 million in tariff costs for the year but reported a 10% rise in sales through the third quarter. Calio predicted full-year adjusted sales between $86.5 billion and $87 billion.
Calio has a bachelor’s degree in political science from Trinity College and an MBA and law degree from the University of Connecticut.
