Annabel Flores (LGO ’03)

As a sponsored LGO student, Annabel returned to Raytheon after graduation and built her career in the defense industry.  She held multiple roles in engineering, business development and program management, leading various efforts to provide critical capabilities to US warfighters and allies.  Annabel currently is the Deputy President of Land and Air Defense of RTX, having previously served as President of Electronic Warfare Systems, leading the strategic direction and operation of a diverse portfolio of electronic warfare products such as the U.S. Navy’s Next Generation Jammer and high energy laser systems, as well as Raytheon Australia.

LGO struck a great balance between technology innovation and business leadership.  When leading teams, I’ve often leveraged the foundation provided during LGO.  The greatest benefit for me has been the tight-knit community of the women in my class.  They are a great inspiration as strong female leaders and a source of constant support.
