Ted Mollegen was an American engineer and corporate executive.

Early life and background

Albert Theodore "Ted" Mollegen Jr. was born in Meridian, Mississippi on August 13, 1937, the eldest of two children of (Harriette) Ione Rush and Albert Mollegen. His father was a religious scholar. Prior to her marriage, Ione edited a society column for The Meridian News. His grand-uncle J. H. Rush founded the first private hospital in Meridian.

As a youngster, the family moved to Alexandria, Virginia where the family lived on the campus of the Virginia Theological Seminary, where his father was a professor. Mollegen attended the adjacent Episcopal High School, then an all-boys school. His classmates included John McCain.[citation needed]

Career

In 1971, Mollegen joined Analysis & Technology (A&T), which at the time was a small defense contractor based in Connecticut which employed only a few dozen people. Five years later he was named president and CEO. Under his leadership, A&T grew into a diversified company earning in excess of $100 million annually in revenue with a staff of over 1,500.
