As CEO of Johnson Controls, Alex Molinaroli led the company through significant transformation that continues today. In 2016, Johnson Controls International plc was formed through a merger with Tyco International. The combined company is a global leader in buildings technologies and solutions. During his tenure, Molinaroli changed Johnson Control’s capital allocation process, institutionalized operating processes and principles and reshaped the company's portfolio with the goal of transforming it from primarily an automotive supplier to a top-tier industrial company. Multiple initiatives were undertaken, including formalizing the Johnson Controls Operating System, expanding the company's presence in China and driving numerous portfolio changes. In 2016, the company’s OEM automotive businesses were divested, beginning with the sale of the company's Automotive Electronics businesses and ultimately the spinoff of the Automotive Seating and Interiors business, which became Adient. While divesting the Automotive Businesses, substantial changes were also being made to augment and improve the legacy Building Efficiency Business. These undertakings streamlined the business operations and improved margins, including the sale of the Global Workplace Services Business, the acquiring of ADTi and a global joint venture with Hitachi Appliances. The portfolio and operational changes dramatically improved the building’s business fundamentals and ultimately led to the merger with Tyco International in September 2016.{{Citation needed|reason=This whole paragraph needs citations|date=April 2021}} |
