“These senior leadership changes reflect not only a robust leadership talent pipeline, but also our relentless focus on achieving an outstanding growth trajectory in our High Growth Regions (HGRs),” Honeywell president of Global High Growth Regions Shane Tedjarati said.

As president, Honeywell, Southeast Asia, Mr. Bujold will oversee the company’s operations in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Philippines.

Mr. Maheshwari has spent close to a decade in Honeywell in a number of leadership roles of increasing responsibilities.

Both will partner with Honeywell’s businesses to seek new growth opportunities and identify potential synergies in the region.

The company also named Vikas Chadha as Managing Director, HAIL, effective January 1, 2014.
