Bastone uses his strong analytical capabilities to consistently prioritize tasks for effective commercialization of prominent developments at Honeywell in Fort Washington, Pa. He manages the Experion PKS Control and I/O portfolio, which includes five product manager direct reports who represent more than 100 years of experience. Bastone’s professionalism has gained him the respect of his leaders, peers, and direct reports. Starting as an application engineer, Bastone spent his first 8 years with Honeywell in the field with key customers. He later joined the product marketing team as the product manager for Experion controllers and was selected to launch derivatives of Experion PKS, for which he received a Corporate Marketing award in 2012. Bastone is now the marketing manager for this product, and he recently launched the Universal I/O for Experion. He is also a key contributor for the LEAP initiative at Honeywell Process Solutions, challenging how automation projects are implemented and deployed. For this, he also won a Corporate Marketing award in 2015. Bastone has always been drawn to technology and the path it offers: exposure to new, high technologies while managing a business. His leadership skills are tested with each project as he manages other senior-level product managers. At home, Bastone has picked up time-lapse photography as a hobby with his two children. He also enjoys mentoring his children with VEX IQ, a robotics platform geared towards engaging students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Bastone also has been an avid beer homebrewer for the past 10 years, with varying levels of success.
