Berra introduced new Emerson Process Management Business Leader Steve Sonnenberg calling him someone he has complete confidence in, tossed him the keys to the business and exited the stage to a standing ovation.

The company values longevity and I’ll still have John around as a mentor.” Berra will continue with the company as Chairman and will work with customers, develop strategy and drive technical innovation.Sonnenberg listed his four core values: provide quality products and services, continue to bring innovation, drive a sense of urgency and do things right. “I commit that I will use these values to drive my decisions,” he concluded.
