Today, Emerson Process Management is an automation vendor focused on field devices, but its plan for the future involves technologies that are just over the horizon. To get there, Emerson decided it needed some extra vision. That's why the group, a division of St. Louis-based Emerson, recently created the position of chief strategic officer. And who better to fill that role than Peter Zornio, a 21-year veteran of the process industry who has spent his entire career at Emerson's competitor, Honeywell. Zornio, most recently director of product marketing at Honeywell, where he was responsible for control systems, safety systems, MES, and asset management software, will now direct strategic technology investments and acquisitions at Emerson Process Management. In his new role he reports directly to Emerson Process Management president John Berra and will manage a cross-functional technology team within the company. Despite his ties to Honeywell, Zornio said the Emerson CSO position was an offer he couldn't refuse. "It's a big change for me," Zornio told Managing Automation. "A little bit of leaving the nest, but I couldn't say no." [Click to continue] |
