As CEO of Regal Rexnord, a global technology and manufacturing leader, I am committed to attracting and retaining the best and brightest talent for our growing company. We are a dedicated team of 30,000 individuals around the world who bring our unique perspectives and skills together to create a better tomorrow with sustainable solutions that power, transmit, and control motion. Our expertise lies in factory automation sub-systems, industrial powertrain solutions, power transmission components, electric motors, air moving products, and specialty electrical components and systems. For more than 125 years, our family of brands has grown intentionally and thoughtfully, and we take pride in the impact our solutions have on daily life. From the fans in HVAC systems that keep you comfortable, to the controls in precise medical devices used in surgery, to the conveyor systems to power the global automated e-commerce distribution systems, to the machinery that powers agricultural and food service equipment, we are a driving force behind it all. We're also the reason e-commerce and warehouses operate seamlessly with our innovative conveyor systems. But our mission doesn’t end there. From the products we make to the way we make them, we contribute to a more sustainable future. We’re also committed to nurturing an inclusive workplace, where every associate can bring their best to Regal Rexnord, develop professionally, and work as a unified team to drive success for our associates, customers, and shareholders. Finally, we’re proud to engage actively in our industry and in the communities where we live and work. I serve on the Board of Governors of NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association), the Board of Trustees of MAPI (Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation), and the University of Chicago Medical Center Board of Trustees. Additionally, I'm honored to be a part of the Museum of Science and Industry Chicago Board of Trustees. As a member of the Commercial Club of Chicago, the Civic Club of Chicago, and the Economic Club of Chicago, I am invested in shaping the future of our region. Join us at Regal Rexnord as we redefine what's possible in engineering and manufacturing. Together, let's create a world where innovation thrives, sustainability is prioritized, and every individual has equal opportunities to succeed and thrive.
