HONEYWELL ELECTS D. SCOTT DAVIS, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER OF UPS, TO ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS
MORRIS TOWNSHIP, NJ, August 1, 2005 -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today that D. Scott Davis, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, Senior Vice President, and Treasurer of UPS (NYSE: UPS), has been elected to its Board of Directors. He will serve on the Audit Committee and the Retirement Plans Committee.
Davis, 53, has served as Chief Financial Officer of UPS since January 2001 and is also a member of the UPS Management Committee, which oversees the day-to-day management of the company. As Chief Financial Officer, Davis is responsible for all activities related to accounting, auditing, finance, financial planning, taxes and treasury. He also serves as the companys main external liaison to the finance, investor and analyst communities.
Scotts experience as an executive manager of an enormously successful global organization makes him a valuable addition to Honeywells Board of Directors, said Dave Cote, chairman and chief executive officer of Honeywell. The combination of his deep and highly-disciplined financial and accounting acumen, executive management experience and technical background make Scott a great fit for Honeywell.
UPS is renowned for its strengths in logistics and supply chain. As one of three members of the UPS Strategic Planning Committee, Scotts leadership has been critical to driving growth globally at UPS and building a stronger brand through consistent high quality customer service. We are excited to be gaining Scotts insights, especially as we continue to roll-out key strategic customer-focused initiatives such as the Honeywell Operating System, Functional Transformation Initiative and Velocity Product Development. Both the Board and
our management team are looking forward to working with Scott and leveraging his well-rounded management and financial experience.
Davis has been with UPS in various positions for over 18 years. He joined UPS as part of the companys acquisition of II Morrow, a developer of general aviation and marine navigation instruments, in 1986. At II Morrow, Davis served as Chief Financial Officer and later as Chief Executive Officer after UPS acquired the company. Davis has also held various positions on the UPS financial team, including Treasury Manager, Financial Reports and Plans Manager, and Vice President of Finance and Accounting. Prior to being named CFO in 2001, Davis served as Vice President of Finance and was responsible for banking, investments, mergers and acquisitions, tax and investor relations. Davis started his career as a member of the Audit and Consulting Practices at Arthur Anderson in Portland, OR.
Davis is a Certified Public Accountant and serves as a Director of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. He is also Vice-Chairman of the Georgia Council on Economic Education.
A native of Oregon, Davis earned a bachelors degree in finance from Portland State University. Davis also completed an Advanced Management Program at the Wharton School of Business.
