Robin Diamonte

Raytheon Technologies

In 2021 Robin Diamonte, chief investment officer at Raytheon Technologies, launched a diverse manager program to encourage their investment managers to hire more minorities and women and focus internally on selecting firms led and owned by diverse asset managers. She told CIO Magazine, “I’m not doing this because it’s a social justice issue. I’m doing it because it’s the right thing to do. And I think that our returns, our alpha, and ultimately our performance are going to improve if we add diversity into our program.” She joined Raytheon Technologies as Chief Investment Officer in 2004 and she is responsible for overseeing Raytheon’s $115+B in global retirement assets. Diamonte serves on RTX’s Finance Leadership Team and their Global DE&I Advisory Board. Prior to joining Raytheon, she spent thirteen years with Verizon Investment Management. She served as Managing Director of Global Investments, responsible for asset allocation and management for their $40B pension plan. In 2013, Robin was appointed by President Obama and served as a member and chair of the Advisory Committee for the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation for six years. Ms. Diamonte has been an Independent Director of Morningstar, Inc. since December 2015. She also serves on the board for the Committee on Investment of Employee Benefit Assets (CIEBA), representing more than 100 of the country’s largest private sector retirement funds on fiduciary and investment issues in Washington.
