CHARLOTTE — CEO Darius Adamczyk, who moved Honeywell International Inc. to Charlotte in 2019 and quickly established himself as a community leader, will step down June 1.
The company announced Tuesday that Chief Operating Officer Vimal Kapur, 57, will succeed him. Adamczyk will remain with the company and become executive chairman of the Honeywell board until at least April 2024.
Adamczyk called Kapur “absolutely the right person” to lead Honeywell after the board announced its decision. The board voted on the moves on Monday.
“Vimal brings 34 years of deep knowledge about our businesses, end markets and customer needs,” Adamczyk said. “His ability to drive our key sustainability and digitalization strategic initiatives, along with his advancement of our world-class operating system — Honeywell Accelerator — throughout the organization, gives him an outstanding platform to drive continued outperformance for our shareowners.”
