Mark Howes, President of Honeywell Aerospace’s Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, won the “Leadership Excellence Award” at the China Aerospace Laureate Awards Ceremony held at Aviation Expo 2011 in Beijing. The awards are organized by the China Aviation Media Group, China Aviation News, and Aviation Week.
Introduced in 2005, the China Aerospace Laureate Awards are considered China’s highest honor for aviation and aerospace, recognizing organizations and individuals who have made significant contributions to the industry. The awards are supported by various institutions including the government, military, enterprises, as well as the Change Foundation and Laureate Foundation.
Howes is the first non-Chinese citizen to receive the prestigious China Aerospace Laureate Award in its seven-year history. Howes’ strategic vision and firm understanding of China’s aviation industry as well as his emphasis on the need for comprehensive and cooperative partnership have resulted in Honeywell’s strong market performance, localization, and leadership in China, according to the organizers.
Howes joined Honeywell in 1980 and has led different business segments within the company. In 2007, he was named President of Honeywell Aerospace’s APAC region.
