Vimal Kapur, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Honeywell Technologies, has been discussing the company's recent restructuring into three separate businesses and its strategic focus on automation and artificial intelligence. In a June 2026 interview, Kapur said the decision to break up the company was already underway before activist investor Elliott Investment Management publicly disclosed a stake in Honeywell in late 2024, describing the relationship as collaborative and aligned on strategy. He noted that simplifying the company's structure was necessary for achieving top-line growth. Kapur also addressed his personal background, having started his career as an entry-level engineer in India before rising to lead the company. Kapur has emphasized the company's focus on industrial AI and moving from automation to autonomy. At a June 2026 investor day, he outlined a long-term growth target of 4-7% organic sales growth and expressed confidence in delivering 10% adjusted income growth. He stated that Honeywell is making a strategic choice to operate in mission-critical segments where uptime matters, and that the company aims to increase its services and software revenue to 45% of total revenue. Kapur described AI as a tool to augment human workers rather than replace them, and said that the industry is likely to shift toward agentic AI systems over the next 5–10 years.
