Our products and services make building owners more productive and efficient, and improve building occupants’ experiences. We’re already in 10M buildings worldwide and growing. We’ve got one of the world’s largest portfolios of proven comfort, security, and integrated systems. We’re Honeywell Connected Buildings. We are shaping the next generation of technology with products and services that help owners and occupants put their buildings to work. Frank’s current responsibilities include developing, deploying, communicating, and iterating Honeywell’s Connected Building strategy; quintupling ACS’s building software and SaaS businesses; and leading Honeywell’s Smart Building Score initiative.
