As Chairman and CEO of the industrial giant Honeywell over 16 years, David Cote grew the company's market capitalization from around $20 billion to nearly $120 billion, delivering returns of 800 percent and beating the S&P by nearly two and a half times. Currently, David is Executive Chairman of Vertiv Holdings Co, a global data center products and services provider. He is a member of the Aspen Economic Strategy Group and on the Boards of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Conference of Montreal.
'David Cote turned a failing company into a global juggernaut by
transforming the culture at Honeywell, and challenging his people
to think and operate differently and, in his words, 'stay hungry.'
David's story is both inspirational and highly instructive, and his
perspective and the lessons he imparts in Winning Now, Winning
Later are relevant not just in business, but in any scenario where
one wants to enact meaningful change and achieve great success.'

'I talk to more CEOs than anyone on Earth, and my advice to them is
'get this book,' because I am sick and tired of the griping and the
grousing about how they aren't given enough time to work their
magic. David Cote is living proof that you can perform both short
and long term, and he's laid it all out for you to do it. Anyone
running any business needs to satisfy more than themselves. Cote
tells you how to do the job to everyone's satisfaction. Believe me,
his task was a lot more difficult than yours will ever be unless
your name is Hercules and you work at Augean Stables, Inc! '--Jim
Cramer, host of CNBC's Mad Money,New York Times bestselling
author
'As a CEO who managed for the long term with a keen eye to the
short term, I found that I had to create my own playbook as I went
along. How I wish David Cote's excellent book had been available to
me then. Life would have been so much easier! Thanks, David. Many
leaders will benefit from this 'how to.''--Indra K. Nooyi, Former
Chairman, PepsiCo, Inc.
'David Cote delivers a masterclass in how to run a global Fortune
100 business for long-term success. Every business leader from
every industry can learn from the hard-earned wisdom offered in
this book.'--Marc Benioff, Co-chief Executive Officer and Founder,
Salesforce, New York Times bestselling author
'David Cote is the most successful leader of a major industrial
manufacturing company of his era. Of course, there have been some
extraordinary high-tech successes with CEOs who are deservedly rock
stars. But in the manufacturing area, David Cote stands alone.'
--Henry M. Paulson Jr., Former US Secretary of the Treasury, New
York Timesbestselling author
The former Honeywell CEO's Winning Now, Winning Later is such a
rich, unusual entry in the genre because instead of running through
his favorite management maxims, Cote provides a gripping,
on-the-scene account of how he deployed a series of bedrock
principles to transform a flailing conglomerate. The lessons come
to life because the reader witnesses Cote, over 16 years ending in
2018, relentlessly putting them into practice to meet the biggest
challenge in corporate America: balancing the short-term success
demanded by investors with sowing the seeds for rewards that will
only be harvested years hence, but are essential to achieving
greatness. -- Fortune Magazine
