CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell today announced that Jaime Chico Pardo, 69, a 20-year member of its Board of Directors who has served as independent Lead Director since 2016, will retire from the Board effective at the time of the next Annual Shareowners Meeting on April 27, 2020. At that time, he will be succeeded as independent Lead Director by D. Scott Davis, 67, a 14-year Honeywell Board member who has chaired the Management Development and Compensation Committee (MDCC) since 2010. Davis also chaired the Honeywell Audit Committee from 2006-2010.

"Jaime has been instrumental in the transformation of Honeywell over the past two decades into one of the world's largest, most admired and successful industrial companies, and his leadership and strategic contributions have laid the groundwork for our active transformation into a software-industrial company," said Honeywell Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Darius Adamczyk. "While serving with tireless commitment with four CEOs, Jaime helped Honeywell globalize and bring its offerings to many new markets. He was relentless in opening doors to pursue new customer relationships, many of which have been very fruitful and sustaining. On a personal note, Jaime was instrumental in my transition into my current role through his deep understanding of the company and through his outstanding communication and leadership skills, which have helped align broad sets of stakeholders in support of our key business strategies. I am grateful for everything Jaime has done to make Honeywell the highly successful company that it is today."

Adamczyk continued: "In Scott Davis, we have another world-class business leader with significant expertise in management, strategy, finance and operations gained over his distinguished career at UPS. He has led global organizations in regulated industries that are aligned with Honeywell's strategic end markets and where innovation is a critical enabler. He also led the transformation of UPS into a technology company. As Honeywell MDCC Chair, Scott consistently set the right tone for our culture of integrity and ethics at Honeywell. Scott is well-regarded by his fellow Board members and has the utmost respect of our management team. I have no doubt he will continue to contribute significantly to Honeywell's ability to outperform its peers and deliver unparalleled value to our customers."

Over the past several years, the Board has continually taken action to strengthen the role of independent Lead Director.
