Eaton's leaders are among the most respected in the industry. Seasoned and skilled, our leadership team brings experience in a variety of industries with some of the world's most successful companies. Together, this team is creating a customer-centric, high-performance culture at Eaton by harnessing the power inherent in our size, strength and scope.

To help drive results across the company, we reconfigured the role of the chief operating officer, assigning each of its corporate-wide responsibilities to one of Eaton's four senior vice presidents. In addition to running their businesses, these executives are responsible for promoting cross-company operational synergies and best practices in marketing, innovation, quality, supplier resource management and geographic programs.

Fueling Eaton's progress is a simple management philosophy: that lifelong learning and diversity build competitive advantage, and that breakout performance drives success. Our senior executives (profiled below) exemplify this philosophy in action.
