The 2016 AIChE Spring Meeting and 12th GCPS AGILE Keynote Address entitled "Transforming a Business for Success", will be presented by AGILE award recipient Andreas C. Kramvis, Vice Chairman of Honeywell.

Andreas Kramvis has made his mark at Honeywell by turning around two large businesses in succession. Stepping in as president of the failing Environmental and Combustion Controls (ECC) business, Andreas nearly doubled sales over six years while expanding margins, driving operational efficiencies and refilling the new product pipeline to transform his business into a technology leader.

In 2008, Andreas was named president and CEO of one of Honeywell’s four strategic business groups — Specialty Materials. While guiding Specialty Materials through the Great Recession, he fundamentally strengthened the business’s ability to run its plants, bring new products to market and execute on growth opportunities. Analysts now call Specialty Materials a star performer within Honeywell’s portfolio.

Success in business depends on continuous adaptation to events and circumstances, and Andreas’ leadership and management methodology has led the way.

The key to his success is a transformation program he developed that allows management to bootstrap a company and progressively put it on a strong footing and on a sound path — under the pressure of time and with no additional resources.
