General Manager - Semiconductor Vertical (Houston)

Job Description

In this role, you will impact the success and expansion of Honeywell’s semiconductor business by establishing robust business plans, fostering key customer relationships, and leading a high-performing team to deliver market-leading solutions and financial results.

A critical aspect of the role is to coordinate across all Strategic Business Groups (SBGs) to build an enterprise value proposition for Semiconductor customers and develop integrated sales opportunities across SBGs.
