Rogers’ Raytheon Stint

His previous experience also includes a stint of more than seven years at another RTX unit, Raytheon, where he served last as program director for the company’s Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System program. He had also worked as a senior program manager and business manager for Raytheon.

Rogers earned a Master of Business Administration degree in management of operations and technology, and a bachelor’s degree in finance, both from Bentley University.

The collaboration supports Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s call for industry innovators to lead a rapid overhaul of the Federal Aviation Administration’s National Airspace System.
