American conglomerate Honeywell has announced the company’s ‘veteran’ Vimal Kapur as its next chief executive officer.

Currently working as the president and chief operating officer, the Indian-origin business executive will assume his new role on June 1, succeeding Darius Adamczyk who will stay at the company as its chairman.

Kapur now joins the growing number of Indian-origin executives appointed to key positions in multinationals based in the West, led by Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella and Arvind Krishna of IBM.

Last month, Neal Mohan was appointed to the corner office of Google’s video-sharing platform YouTube.

Kapur, who specialises in instrumentation, “is absolutely the right person” to lead Honeywell “to the next level of growth and stellar performance," Adamczyk said on Tuesday (14).

A graduate in electronics engineering from Thapar Institute of Engineering in India’s Patiala, Kapur, 57, joined Honeywell soon after his education. His career at the company has spanned more than three decades during which he held several key positions.

He was named president and chief operating officer in July of last year and has overseen the integration of the Honeywell Accelerator across the organisation.

Kapur previously worked as the president and CEO of Honeywell’s Performance Materials Technologies (PTM) which is involved in the development of high-performance products and solutions.

Kapur has demonstrated that he can “nimbly evolve business strategies to fit any circumstances,” Adamczyk said.

Having brought “34 years of deep knowledge about our businesses”, Kapur is capable of driving Honeywell's “sustainable innovation and solidifying our position to lead in the energy transition,” Adamczyk said.

Honeywell, based in North Carolina, is a Fortune 100 company with a global workforce of 97,000. The 117-year-old company, which clocked a revenue of 35.47 billion (£29.37 bn) in 2022, is involved in aerospace, performance materials & technologies, building technologies and safety & productivity solutions.

Man jailed for stalking Cheryl Tweedy after repeated visits to her home

Daniel Bannister, a 50-year-old man of no fixed address, has been sentenced to 16 weeks in prison after repeatedly stalking Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Tweedy at her Buckinghamshire home. Bannister targeted the pop star on three separate occasions in 2024, leaving her feeling frightened and distressed.

The first incident occurred in January 2024 when Bannister arrived at Cheryl’s home in the Chalfonts area and used her intercom system to announce that he had "come to get Cheryl." The alarming visit led to a restraining order being placed against him, barring him from approaching her property again.

Manchester student auctions virginity for £1.7 million, Hollywood star wins bid

A 22-year-old student from Manchester, Laura, has sparked widespread controversy after selling her virginity for Rs 18 crore (around £1.7 million) through an online auction. The auction, organised via a well-known escort agency’s website, attracted interest from several high-profile figures, including politicians, business moguls, and celebrities. The winning bid came from a Hollywood star, who remains anonymous, propelling Laura’s decision into the public eye.

Laura, who comes from a religious background, explained that she has no regrets about her decision, describing it as a strategic move to secure her financial future. “I don’t regret it. Many girls lose their virginity for nothing. At least I gained financial security,” she said. For her, the auction was a business transaction that allowed her to capitalise on what she considered a valuable asset. She emphasised that many women do not benefit financially or emotionally from losing their virginity, while she saw an opportunity to gain independence.
