Ernst will also continue to report to Chief Financial Officer Toby O’Brien.

He joined the Waltham, Massachusetts-based defense contractor in January 2010 as director of competitive assessment for corporate strategy and was appointed as the company’s investor relations head 10 months later.

Before Raytheon, he worked for Balyasny Asset Management and Neuberger Berman as senior equity analyst focused on the aerospace and defense sectors.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in history from DePauw University and a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business.
