The thesis

Why this org is unusual

RTX’s most distinctive structural feature is that the three major operating businesses—Raytheon, Pratt & Whitney, and Collins Aerospace—each have presidents reporting directly to the CEO.

This creates a clean divisional P&L structure with minimal corporate layering. The CEO’s span centers on capital allocation, portfolio strategy, and operational oversight rather than functional control.

Corporate functions such as Finance, Legal, and Human Resources are centralized and also report directly to the CEO, reinforcing a hybrid model where divisional autonomy is balanced by strong enterprise governance. The absence of a standalone COO concentrates operating accountability in the business presidents.

This structure reflects RTX’s post-merger integration philosophy: preserve deep domain expertise within businesses while driving consistency through shared systems like CORE and centralized financial and risk controls.

All three operating businesses report directly to the CEO
No standalone Chief Operating Officer role
