President-elect Joe Biden’s choice to be Defense secretary, retired Gen. Lloyd Austin, stands to make up to $1.7 million when he leaves the board of defense contractor Raytheon Technologies Corp. if he’s confirmed, according to his financial disclosure forms.
The disclosures, released Sunday, do not give an exact value of Austin’s stock holdings related to his position on the Raytheon board of directors, but place the range from about $800,000 to about $1.75 million.
Austin has also been on a Booz Allen Hamilton advisory board since 2018, a position his ethics form said he will resign. He will also recuse himself from decisions involving Booz Allen Hamilton for a year, according to the disclosure.
