Raytheon CEO Gregory Hayes: How Ukraine Has Highlighted Gaps in US Defense Technologies

Raytheon CEO Gregory Hayes: How Ukraine Has Highlighted Gaps in US Defense Technologies 24 Mar 2022 --- Gregory Hayes is CEO and chairman of Raytheon Technologies, and offers a unique view on what it means to be running an aerospace and defense giant at a time when the whole world is fixated on the war in Ukraine. The company’s Javelin and Stinger missiles have been key ingredients in the Ukrainian resistance to Russian advances, but Hayes warned that “the Russians are ahead of [the US] in terms of having capabilities today to launch hypersonic missiles.” This interview part of a series called “The New World of Work,” which explores how top-tier executives see the future and how their companies are trying to set themselves up for success.
