Our CFO Greg Lewis on Honeywell's Digital Transformation
About Gregory Lewis
Gregory Lewis, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Honeywell, has discussed the company’s digital transformation in multiple appearances. He stated that Honeywell has invested over $1.2 billion in its IT infrastructure over the past seven years, describing the company as being “at the end of the beginning of the digital transformation.” Lewis noted that he previously served as CFO of Honeywell’s Automation and Control Solutions business and was asked by CEO Darius Adamczyk to lead the enterprise-level digital effort, which became Honeywell Digital. He expressed support for CFOs as transformation leaders, saying that having authored the initial strategic plan for the digital initiative was helpful in his role as CFO. Lewis also commented on Honeywell’s broader strategy and outlook. He said the company realigned into three themes: the future of automation, the future of air travel, and the future of the energy transition. He described Honeywell’s Forge IoT platform and enterprise data warehouse as assets that enable the use of technologies like AI, adding that the company is using these tools internally and for customers. During Honeywell’s Q4 2022 earnings call, Lewis provided financial guidance for 2023, including expected sales of $36 to $37 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $8.80 to $9.20.
