In an age where many CEO’s and others leave a business after only a few months, one man stayed committed to a company for eight years to see it flourish on the world stage. This man’s name is Louis Chenevert and he helped United Technology Corporation become one of the most prominent manufacturers of engines and other aerospace technology in the world today.

Louis Chenevert started off slow and easy. He worked at GM in Canada for fourteen years so he made sure that he had the basics of how to run the floor and how things worked. After GM he went to Pratt and Whitney. This is where his business savvy came into being. After only six years at the company, he became president of the company in 1999. After six more years with Pratt and Whitney, he left that position to make a permanent mark in the aerospace industry. He became president of UTC.

He believed in the company and the people who were working with him and made sure to invest in both. This is the key to the success of UTC and Louis Chenevert. He made sure that UTC had the latest in technology when it came to building engines and other components.
He also made sure that the people had the knowledge and skills necessary in order to create the latest in technology.

Louis Chenevert has moved on from UTC to work at Goldman Sachs. One thing was for certain though. He was committed to seeing UTC spread their wings and fly. He was committed to seeing it through from his beginning in 2006 to the end of 2014.
