CHARLOTTE, NC, November 7, 2025 — Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) today announced the appointments of Sean Meakim and Mark Macaluso as the investor relations leads for Honeywell Aerospace and Honeywell, respectively, ahead of the planned Aerospace separation that is expected in the second half of 2026. 

Meakim currently serves as Vice President of Investor Relations and Strategic Finance for Honeywell and will become Vice President of Investor Relations for Honeywell Aerospace, effective February 2, 2026. Macaluso rejoins Honeywell later this month and will succeed Meakim as Vice President of Investor Relations for Honeywell on February 2.

“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,” said Mike Stepniak, Chief Financial Officer of Honeywell.

 

“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,” added Stepniak. “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.”

 

Stepniak 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 since led all engagement with the company’s shareholders and the broader financial and investor community. Last year, he expanded his responsibilities by leading the creation of a new Strategic Finance group, focused on surfacing insights that influence Honeywell’s growth strategy through the lens of its equity value proposition. Before joining Honeywell, he spent more than a decade as a top-ranked equity research analyst covering the energy technology sector at J.P. Morgan and Barclays. In 2020, Meakim was the #1-ranked analyst in his sector in the Institutional Investor All America Research rankings. He holds an MBA from the Cornell Johnson Graduate School of Management and a B.A. from Duke University and is a CFA Charterholder.

Macaluso rejoins Honeywell after spending the last five years as Vice President, Investor Relations and Global Communications at ITT, Inc. (NYSE: ITT) where he led the company’s global investor relations strategy. At ITT, he expanded the company’s sell-side research analyst coverage, grew its shareholder base and oversaw its first two large-scale investor days. Prior to ITT, Macaluso spent more than 12 years at Honeywell, including serving as Vice President, Business Analysis & Planning for PMT, and as Vice President, Investor Relations. During his tenure at Honeywell, Macaluso led the company’s investor relations strategy during several transformational events and was recognized as the #1 Investor Relations Officer in the Electrical Equipment & Multi-Industry sector for 2017, 2018 and 2019 as part of Institutional Investor’s All America Executive Team rankings. Macaluso holds a B.S. in Accounting from Boston College.
