Honeywell has announced changes to its investor relations leadership ahead of the planned separation of its Aerospace division, which is expected to occur in the second half of 2026.
Sean Meakim, currently Vice President of Investor Relations and Strategic Finance for Honeywell, will become Vice President of Investor Relations for Honeywell Aerospace effective February 2, 2026. Mark Macaluso will rejoin Honeywell later this month and succeed Meakim as Vice President of Investor Relations for Honeywell on the same date.
Mike Stepniak, Chief Financial Officer of Honeywell, commented on the appointments: “We are fortunate to enter this next chapter with two investor relations leaders who each bring extensive networks within the investment community and deep knowledge of our business and investor base.”
Stepniak added: “Bringing decades of Wall Street experience, Sean is a trusted partner, effectively communicating the vision and value of Honeywell’s strategy with credibility and conviction, while transforming our IR function into a best-in-class program. He has been instrumental in elevating our messaging, generating unique insights and driving connectivity between our finance and strategy groups. His experience guiding our shareholders through the separation sets him up perfectly to shape and execute a compelling investor relations strategy for Honeywell Aerospace.”
He continued: “I am thrilled to welcome Mark back to Honeywell to lead investor relations. Mark’s expertise in the industrial sector combined with his firsthand knowledge of our automation business will be an incredible value-add to Honeywell going forward. He rejoins us with a well-regarded reputation and the confidence of stakeholders across our investor base, which we will benefit from as we become two leading, pure-play, public companies next year.”
Meakim joined Honeywell in 2021 and has led engagement with shareholders as well as creating a new Strategic Finance group aimed at providing insights influencing growth strategies based on equity value. Before joining Honeywell, he worked over ten years as an equity research analyst covering energy technology at J.P. Morgan and Barclays. In 2020, he was ranked #1 in his sector by Institutional Investor All America Research rankings. He holds an MBA from Cornell Johnson Graduate School of Management and a B.A. from Duke University; he is also a CFA Charterholder.
Macaluso returns after five years at ITT Inc., where he was Vice President for Investor Relations and Global Communications. There he expanded analyst coverage, increased shareholder numbers, and oversaw major investor events. Previously at Honeywell for more than twelve years—including serving as Vice President roles in Business Analysis & Planning for PMT and Investor Relations—he managed IR during key company transformations and was recognized multiple times by Institutional Investor’s All America Executive Team rankings as top IR officer in his sector. Macaluso holds a B.S. in Accounting from Boston College.
Honeywell operates globally across industries including aerospace, building automation, industrial automation, process automation, and process technology through its operating system platforms such as Honeywell Accelerator and Forge.
The company stated that forward-looking statements about these organizational changes are subject to risks such as macroeconomic shifts or challenges completing planned separations on schedule or achieving intended benefits.
