He leads RTX’s Mission Architecture Program and RTX’s Technology Networks organization. The Mission Architecture Program is a set of enterprise-wide initiatives aimed at establishing and evolving software, systems, and enterprise architecture expertise throughout the company. Its scope includes architecture process, training and certification, governance, assessment, reference architectures, tools, and collaboration with government, industry, academia, and standards organizations. Rolf has been recognized for his career work in systems architecture (NDIA’s Lt. General Thomas R. Ferguson Jr. Systems Engineering Award), software architecture (SEI’s Linda M. Northrop Software Architecture Award), and enterprise architecture (inducted into FEAC’s Enterprise Architecture Hall of Fame). Rolf attended Auburn University at Montgomery, Auburn University, and Huntingdon College. He holds degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics with Honors. He has professional certificates in systems architecture from MIT and software architecture from Carnegie Mellon University. Rolf resides in Dallas, Texas, with his wife and three children.
