Executive Overview

As Chief Executive Officer of Johnson Controls, I believe in making buildings smarter and better for everyone, while leveraging technologies and lifecycle services to help customers reach their goals and contribute positively to the environment and communities we serve. I am excited to lead our 100,000-member team as we deliver on profitable growth, innovation and continuous improvement. Prior to joining Johnson Controls, I held several executive leadership roles at Danaher Corporation, across healthcare, industrial and utility technology businesses and most recently served as Executive Vice President, Diagnostics and China. Earlier in my career, I held executive positions of increasing operational responsibility at Mettler Toledo and ABB.
