“The success of our value creation strategy has come through a relentless focus on culture, portfolio and execution, and Nick has been instrumental in helping develop and drive our culture change initiatives,” said Emerson President and CEO Lal Karsanbhai. “Our entire management team is committed to continuing this culture transformation. Nick’s deep knowledge of the Emerson organization and global experience as a team leader will be tremendous assets to help us sustain and build on this exceptional momentum.”
