Jill Albertelli to Lead Pratt & Whitney Starting January
After more than thirty years navigating the complexities of Pratt & Whitney, Jill Albertelli will step into the role of president on January 1, 2027. She succeeds Shane Eddy, who is retiring from the aerospace giant after a four-decade career that transitioned from the flight line to the executive suite.

Shane Eddy, who took the helm in 2022, will remain with the organization as a special advisor until March 2027 to ensure a smooth leadership handoff. During his tenure, Eddy focused on the production ramp-up of the Geared Turbo Fan and F135 engines, navigating a significant transformation phase for the company. RTX, headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, continues to lean on these core programs as it maintains its position in the global defense and aviation markets.
