Government Contractors | Technology | Aerospace 2025: CHRISTOPHER T. CALIO
PRESIDENT, CEO AND CHAIRMAN, RTX, ARLINGTON COUNTY
Virginia Business //September 1, 2025//
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. He joined United Technologies Corp. in 2005 as an assistant counsel.
RTX reported $80.7 billion in revenue in fiscal 2024, up from $68.9 billion from the previous year. The company continues to rake in big projects; its Raytheon subsidiary won a $1.1 billion contract modification from the U.S. Navy in June. That’s the largest contract modification for the program so far.
This year, RTX said it expects to take an $850 million hit from tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, but Calio said in July he expects the company to have sales of $84.75 billion to $85.5 billion in 2025.
Calio has a bachelor’s degree in political science from Trinity College and an MBA and law degree from the University of Connecticut.
