"We're extremely excited about Mike adding his deep experience in finance and operations to our leadership team. He brings a strong track record of driving profitable growth across numerous industrial and technology businesses during multiple market and economic cycles. Mike has an extensive understanding of our business, customers and shareholders that positions him well to lead our global finance organization and makes him the right leader to help us advance our capital deployment commitment and further accelerate growth," said Vimal Kapur, Chairman and CEO of Honeywell.

"I also want to take the opportunity to thank Greg for his partnership and significant contributions as CFO and as a champion of Honeywell's foundational principles and digital transformation," Kapur continued. "Greg has played an instrumental role in leading our business during his time as Honeywell CFO - helping us create compelling value for shareholders, align our portfolio to focus on three powerful megatrends and set a course for sustained future growth."

"I am proud of the transformation we have driven over my tenure at Honeywell, particularly these past eight years, and confident the company will continue progressing the strategy that Vimal and our team have laid out," said Lewis. "Mike has been instrumental in driving commercial expansion and innovation in our business, and I am confident that his strong financial acumen, combined with his passion for operational excellence, will enable a seamless transition as we continue to deliver value for shareholders."
