Org. Announcement, Merger Integration and Consolidation Leads |
Dear Raytheon leaders,
Two weeks ago, we announced that Raytheon has entered into an agreement to combine with United Technologies Corporation in a merger of equals. The combined company Raytheon Technologies will define the future of the aerospace and defense industry. It is an exciting opportunity to build on our foundation as a technology leader creating trusted, innovative solutions to make the world a safer place.
In parallel with our unwavering commitment to flawless execution, there is work to be done to ensure that when the merger closes which we anticipate will be during the first half of 2020 we are prepared to leap ahead. As such, there are two key streams of work that require attention:
1) |
Integration work stream focused on the integration of Raytheon and UTCs corporate structures. |
2) |
Consolidation work stream focused on consolidating our four businesses into two businesses. |
Integration Lead
I have asked Scott Weiner, our vice president of Corporate Development, to lead the Integration work stream. Scott joined Raytheon in January and was an integral member of the team behind the merger agreement. He has more than 20 years of experience in corporate development, leading domestic and international transactions including mergers and acquisitions, divestitures and similar strategic work after starting his career in engineering. Scott will work with a team of leaders from across the functions and with his counterpart at UTC. In this capacity, he will report to a steering team comprised of Frank Jimenez, Toby OBrien, Randa Newsome and myself. He will also ensure coordination with the Consolidation work stream.
Consolidation Lead
I have asked Tay Fitzgerald, our vice president of Operations for SAS, to lead the Consolidation work stream. For the duration of Tays assignment, Jeff Place will serve as interim lead for Operations, and he will continue to lead Supply Chain at SAS. Tay has held a number of challenging technical and leadership positions with Raytheon throughout her 29-year tenure. Prior to her current role, she served as program director of a strategic proprietary effort at RMS, as the SM-6 deputy director, and in numerous program manager, capture manager and engineering organization manager roles. Tay will work with a team of leaders from across the businesses and functions, and in close coordination with the business presidents. In this capacity, she will report to the same steering team to which Scott will report. She will also ensure coordination with the Integration work stream.
As the teams begin their work, we are committed to keeping you updated on our progress and providing additional information as it becomes available. Meanwhile, I ask that you please stay focused on our 2019 performance, and join me in congratulating Scott and Tay on their assignments.
Respectfully,
Tom
