What does Cori do?

People ask me this question all the time. I usually reply simply that he is an HR manager for Honeywell. When people ask me what this means, I always have a hard time being concise about my answer. Honeywell is best known for thermostats. This is the business in which the company started. But Honeywell is so much more now. Chances are that between your home and your car alone, you use a dozen Honeywell products every day. Honeywell has become an innovative inventing and manufacturing competitor. One of the reasons Cori was attracted to Honeywell was the role that HR plays in the company. At Honeywell, the HR leaders sit at the big table and are part of the constant refinement, restructuring and growth of the company. 

Dave Cote, Honeywell chairman and CEO, was invited onto CNBC's Mad Money this week (clip below). I think this is a really interesting look at Honeywell and it highlights some strengths of the company as well as several of the cooler things Honeywell produces. And on that note, when we lived in CA, Cori worked for the division of the company that manufactures the turbo chargers they show on this clip. Now he manages sites that produce, among some other things, micro switches for other aerospace products.
