What Success Looks Like to Me: At Eaton, our goal is to be the top choice — for customers, suppliers, employees and investors. We will: Lead for Growth. Invest for Growth. Execute for Growth. Lead for Growth: Become a more agile, customer centric organization by setting a bold vision, listening first and empowering teams to innovate where and when customers need it most. Invest for Growth: In our people, customers and partners so we have the right tools, talent, capability and technology to deliver critical power solutions to high-growth, high-margin markets. Execute for Growth: Deliver consistently and predictably through best-in-class operational excellence to bring industry-leading solutions to our customers on time, every time.

My Leadership Style: I’m focused on building an inclusive culture where people, performance and purpose come together. We’ll celebrate operators who get the details right, engineers who challenge what’s possible and teams that collaborate across boundaries to help us exceed customer expectations around the world.
