Berra, who has been business leader since 2000, is taking a new role as chairman of Emerson Process Management to focus on strategic planning, technology, key customer relationships and organisational planning.
“Steve is an integral member of the Emerson management team and has long played a strong role in growing Emerson Process Management’s leading position around the world,” Berra said. “I am excited for the future of this business under his leadership.”
Berra announced additional changes to the Emerson Process Management structure including:
