Eaton Corp. this week named information-technology veteran
Katrina Redmond as senior vice president and chief information
officer.
Ms. Redmond, who will report to Eaton Chairman and Chief
Executive Craig Arnold, succeeds Bill Blausey, Eaton's longtime
CIO, who is retiring next month from the power-management
company.
Eaton said Mr. Blausey, who has been Eaton's CIO since 2006,
will work with Ms. Redmond to ensure a smooth transition.
Mr. Blausey isn't the only high-level manager leaving the
company. Eaton's vice chairman and chief financial and planning
officer Richard Fearon is retiring in March.
Ms. Redmond will lead Eaton's IT department, which has about
2,000 employees, and will oversee the development and execution of
the company's enterprisewide information technology strategy. The
IT team supports Eaton's technology infrastructure and applications
and helps drive the company's digital strategy.
Dublin-based Eaton sells products, systems and services that
help customers manage electrical, hydraulic and mechanical power.
The company, which has more than 90,000 employees and generated
more than $21 billion in sales in 2019, also makes industrial
clutches, motors, fuel pumps and other equipment.
"It's been a business that has been extremely well run over the
past multiple decades," said Ms. Redmond. "It's just an impressive
collection of talent [and] product, and it's a very well-known and
well-respected brand in the marketplace. All of those things [held]
a lot of value when I was thinking through the opportunity."
Ms. Redmond joins Eaton from Hubbell Inc., a Shelton, Conn.,
manufacturer of electrical and electronic products, where she was
vice president and CIO. Before joining Hubbell in 2019, she held
top information technology leadership positions at ABB Ltd., GE
Industrial Solutions and GE Grid Solutions.
"Katrina has a fantastic background," Mr. Blausey said, adding
that Ms. Redmond had the IT, operational and leadership style the
company was looking for.
