Executive Overview

Chief Digital Transformation Officer for Honeywell Aerospace • As a visionary Chief Digital Transformation Officer (CDTO) with over 30 years of global experience, I have spearheaded digital transformation efforts within diverse organizations, significantly enhancing technology ecosystems to drive business growth and innovation. At Honeywell, I led the groundbreaking shift to a fully digitized operational model, vastly improving efficiency across multiple continents—North America, Europe, and Asia. My strategic leadership has included overseeing integration processes for significant acquisitions, including a billion-dollar deal and managing divestitures in excess of $800 million. Currently, I am driving the spinoff of a multi-billion-dollar entity by architecting its IT framework from the ground up. My initiatives in oil refinery operations have harnessed AI and machine learning to mitigate costs and position the company for considerable revenue gains, presenting potential savings of millions while enhancing performance metrics. In my current role as Vice President and CIO at Honeywell Energy and Sustainability Solutions, I lead a robust IT team with an annual budget of $60 million. My responsibilities span driving strategic initiatives, overseeing M&A integrations, and developing an Industrial Operations Platform, projected to generate significant revenue opportunities. After fully digitizing the project management processes, we achieved enhanced visibility and efficiency across workflows. My prior positions have also been pivotal, from integrating complex SAP ecosystems to revamping customer experience platforms that drove substantial sales growth. I excel in fostering diverse teams, championing employee engagement, and implementing agile methodologies, ultimately delivering impactful results that align with organizational goals.
